So, so good!
I really enjoyed the variety of fights you were able to get - one minute I was up close and personal, having to quickly move the cursor the full width of the screen in order to reach my new target, the next I was fighting at a distance and having to finely tune my aim. The pacing was spot on, with just enough downtime to have chance to breath, but never so much that the tension dropped.
Sound design is great, with the pounding drums driving the action while really evoking the era, and enough audio cues to know to take care when a hostage is about to enter the screen.
By comparison to the original, this version has a glossy smooth response which is a big improvement, at least on my computer.
