Absolutely awful

[Be Very Afraid]

Disgraceful attempt at a remake

[JOKIN MADNESS]

Totally agree. I have huge nostalgia for this title... but this "remake" is HORRIBLE.

A remaster of these, with the same Tomb Raider remastered treatment, would be amazing and so much better than these remakes.

They really massacred this game. Everything about it is worse. It is so awful. I'm legitimately angry at Sega.. I don't even blame Forever at this point.

cannot agree more, the sound just feels off, and they even removed the damage to judgement, in the original if you click fast enough you could just ignore the batman

HOTD 2 remake sports a soundtrack that doesn't really feel like an upgraded version of the original. Voice acting feels like a hit or miss sometimes, the classic ost in game is too quiet for some reason.

Can some of you listen to this and tell me if this is how the remake's soundtrack should've sounded like?

Was pumped for this but it looks like ass, sounds like ass and the demo is full of bugs. Also Light Gun or VR is a no-brainer, why not add it?

THIS! HotD2 was my launch day game for Dreamcast and I absolutely love the game! This is bafflingly bad.

Also THIS!
I played HotD 2 in arcades near me for years every now and then.
I was extremely excited for this but everything just feels wrong.
Even if I ignore the artstyle/graphics which just completely miss the mark of what the OG game was going for, the gameplay here is just completely ♥♥♥♥♥♥. Enemies die too fast to an almost embarrassing degree (and I played on the hardest difficulty just to see if it's better there.. nope). The ragdolls are just bad and completely ridiculous. The Voice Acting just feels bland now which is just bad for old fans and new players alike. The first level boss had a few mechanical changes which make it too easy and just kinda boring.
I could go on and into every little detail about things I noticed that are worse here or aren't working like they would've in the original but to sum it all up: This feels like a Remake from someone who wasn't a fan of the OG game in the first place which kinda just makes me sad.
