Missing the elements that made the original great

Im extremely disappointed in this game.

The Good: I expected the play control to be a little different due to the touch environment, but I was able to get used to those differences after a while. The sound and graphics are decent.

The Bad: The puzzles are weaker. The combat is less fun because all you do is wait for the enemy to hit hard, so you can do a combo on him. The levels are missing ALL the components that made the original fun and suspenseful.

Skeletons that dont die: gone.
Losing your sword as you try to escape the collapsing bridge: gone.
Fighting screaming heads that are actually hard to kill with half a sword or less: gone.
Turning into a shadow and sneaking past guards: gone.
Flaming sword: gone.
Game of cat and mouse against Jaffar at the end: gone.

I feel like the people who made this game never even played the original. They should be utterly ashamed. They ruined a classic for a generation.
