I think it's all pretty valid. The chase music from the original has quality of music in games today. why couldn't they just reuse it?
As for TheWanderingWonderer's (I'm gonna call you TWW for short) suggestion about the electric gates death animation.. I hate it in New n Tasty. I miss the 'oops'.. as a Mudokon dissolves. THAT's just the right amount of humour added to a death, not flailing around and exploding. Also welcome to the forums
