It's everything. I bounced off cos it was said there's lots of random side stuff and usually I hate that but even the fucking squatting mini game is fun. Everything about this game is perfect, combat is addictive, mini games are all solid, it's camp and goofy as all hell, characters are baller, cutscenes are baller.
For someone who never really jived with the original this really lets me appreciate what it had going on by wrapping it in a genuinely fun experience that just doesn't seem to get boring or even stumble in pacing.
I enjoyed the first disc of the original and I love how even though it's totally overhauled I get excited to see bits I remember renewed. I'm looking forward to playing the second because that part of the game I didn't enjoy as much from the original it's where the game got frustrating and a bit of a drag for me.
Makes sense. Disc 1 is a really focused, tight experience, but from disc 2 on you get access to the world map and suddenly you're just kinda wandering all over the planet. Disc 1 is easily the strongest section of the game.
