When they came out with classic POP HD. I hoped they would give POP 2 the same treatment. This comes close. POP Classic HD felt much more like the original. Updated graphics but identical level design and more nimble movements for the prince. This one comes short. Combat is dumbed down. Level design is made too simple (set off a trap - thats ok, you can usually avoid it easy enough, Miss a crucial jump - thats ok, youll usually survive and easily enough find another way around). Revives take away all sense of danger. The original had voice acting - this one doesnt. The original actually had better cutscenes to tell the story. And the gameplay felt more cinematic. For example - on the first level you actually had to jump onto a moving boating. On this one, the boat is idle waiting for you to climb aboard. Still though, its still similar enough to the original to bring some nostalgia.
