The game is part of a graphic style and gameplay very close to the episodes of the great era. It's also without forgetting modern additions like new levels. Some modernizations of the gameplay whether in the controls or the interactions with the environment.

Whether it is the English-speaking press with its average of 9/10 from DualShockers, GameInformer, Gamespot or IGN.
