The only thing i can agree on with you here is the voice acting. Some of the mudokons sounded stereotypical Indian/Pakistani, which was a little strange and atmosphere killing. The different variations of them chanting was also irritating.. especially the ones that went "HUMMMMMMM" and "YAOW YA YAOW YA YAOW"! Hopefully JAW will return to the classic soft voices in Twice Ze Flavour (I think thats what it will be called since everyones using it).
The rag dolling makes more sense than having abe die in the same way each time, because NNT doesn't run on a grid like the original.
The Elum parts i found very fun and useful, i can't fault them. it really tests your timing skills!
My framerate has been fine, with no issues of freezing. It may need a patch update for ps3 as it did for Ps4 when it was released a while ago.
The Molluck scene? GREAT. We see more of Molluck with cutscenes like this. It shows that Abe managed to escape successfully and show the CEO's reaction, which makes him want Abe dead more. The other cutscenes with Abe entering the temples were brilliant imo. Its much better than just zooming into the entrance as a cutscene. Plus it's more creative than Abe jumping in a portal to get there!
As for the reward, yeah it's not like the old one, but the idea really is that you complete it by rescuing all the Mudokons, then replaying the game killing them all. the achievement is that you have completed the game 100%.
I know the atmosphere isn't the same.. but the PS1's graphics were less qualitative back then, which made games look grimy and dark, which fitted perfectly with Abe's Oddysee. I found the graphics too bright for Oddworld at first, but you can tinker with the Gamma in the options, and just by taking it down a few notches really affects the lighting in gameplay and recreates that darkness. Especially in the temples!
New n Tasty isn't a bad game at all. All the reviews are either 8/10 or 9/10 (3.5/5 or 4/5). It takes a little while to get used to the new physics and atmosphere, but its all still there somewhere. I still got heart palpitations during a few Scrab chases! I owe it all to JAW, they did an amazing job.

Fucking Lord the mudokons chanting, especially the YA YAOOW YA YAOOW one, made me want to shake a baby. They were AWFUL.
