Pros:
QuickSave
'All o' Ya!'
Smooth Sidescrolling
Great Soundtrack
HD Visuals: Stunning Scenery & In-Game Characters
New Alternative ways to solve puzzles
New Cutscenes
Cons:
- Irritating Mudokons talking (or going 'eh! eh! eh! Come on...' every 5 damn seconds, whoever voiced that one should be shot)
- Atmosphere killed. Too Bright and shiny.
- Original SFX... Scrabs now squeak.. I miss the old sounds. Paramites are Acceptable.
- Ragdoll Physics (Whilst sometimes funny, kills atmosphere. I miss the fizzing)
- Abe's Voice. (Not in a negative way, it still sounds Abe-y, but not as charming and mystical as the soft original)
- The cheesy Loading rhymes e.g. 'out of nowhere an Elum Appeared, Abe's journey to the temple was becoming weird'.. I don't know, i don't think i like them.
- The Chanting: again, not as mystical as the original, and continues to make sound after possession.
- Mudokon Chanting!! - The one in Scrabania that goes 'Yowww Yah Yowww' pisses me off big time
- Abe making noises: 'Yughhh!' every jump..
- The meat saws! - 1/50 chance of passing through without dying
- Controls are clunky: Abe shuffles before jumping unless assigned Jump with X, Rolling is slow, sometimes doesn't respond.
- Rupturefarms opening scene.. Looks too futuristic and snazzy. I prefer the old polluting grey one.
There are way more Cons than Pros about New 'n' Tasty, but that's because you will never beat an original. We are all accustomed to how Abe used to sound, move and look, and seeing it reimagined is weird. But I can play NNT countless times and still have fun. I will just never get the same feelings as i did with the original. All the heart palpitations when being chased by Scrabs or waking up a Slig.. It doesn't exist anymore.
But i'd say it's worth a buy. I have PS4 version, PC and will be getting Wii U version too. because i will always support Oddworld
