The gameplay is a lot better than the original, and just as frustrating but in that good kind of way if you know what I mean. Of course graphics have gotten a lot better than this since, but unlike the original it does hold up greatly. The graphics are much better, and still hold up to this day considering this is a 2002 Gamecube Port. While the original 1996 version was an amazing game, and my first foray into the Survival Horror Genre, this game is far superior in many ways. Hollywood could use a few lessons when it comes to video games in many ways.
Games get it right when it comes to remakes (or at least most of them do).
