It's not nearly as ambitious or exciting as the original, which was a huge part of my childhood gaming experience. The plot is forgettable (I have no idea what is happening) and the voice acting is godawful. For some reason Carrington is wearing a kilt, and Zhang Li has this weird kind of racist Fu Manchu thing going on that I'd like to ignore but it's right there mocking us all why-oh-why Rare did you do this?
But still, I'm enjoying it a lot. It's also nice to shoot things after the gameplay blackhole that was Murdered: Soul Suspect. I wish Joanna wasn't such a non-event of a character because I always had a huge crush on her growing up, but the terrible voice-acting has been really entertaining and hearing that distinctive Mag sound brought back some memories.
This was a launch title for the 360 and it shows. I have never played any of Rare's post-Nintendo output, but I will probably check out Kameo: Elements Of Power sometime soon.
