Re: My Review Of This Game.

From what I can tell, the difference between the framerate of this one and the originals is that the originals were CAPPED to 30 (or 25 for PAL,) but COULD have ran at higher, technically, with some occasional drops. I do remember a few times involving a lot of enemies and high render distance where the games could go below thirty. This game, as far as I can tell, is capped at 30, but does not run at it smooth, meaning the controls are very inconsistent, as some areas you'll be getting 15 frames, but some you can get thirty just fine. Kind of like Dark Souls. The original trilogy barely ever dropped in frames to the point that it was noticeable, and, in my experience, never dropped to the point that it messed up controls. This game probably could have been a decent continuation of the series if it did not get rushed out so hard.

Another thing, slightly off-topic, this game was not developed by Insomniac, but the engine seems to be basically the same. The swimming in air glitch is still present, and the controls are very similar. Did the devs of this one steal the engine, did Insomniac loan it to them, or was Universal in possession of it the whole time?

or maybe they just re-made the entire engine exactly the same from scratch

I forgot to mention that there's not many levels in the game, but I would've said that the size of them balances it out.

Re: My Review Of This Game.

There should probably be a Gamecube review.
I have the Gamecube Player's Choice version, it seems to be the most stable.
