I just wanted to thank the developers for making this version of the game. The original was extremely disappointing and not at all what I was hoping for or expecting. They had most of the key members from the classic Rare days when developing Yooka-Laylee but apparently they were very rusty. I probably played the original for less than 30 minutes before giving up. I hated the color pallete, the controls, the map design, the humor was vastly inferior to Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie's, the music wasn't as good as it used to be, etc., but now almost everything has been fixed or improved on a meaningful level. Some will still say that they dropped the ball regarding how you start off with all of your moves from the beginning and the sense of progression or reason to return to previous areas is now gone, but I felt that it was a good fit for this experience in particular. Yooka-Replaylee feels like a rebirth and what we should've recieved the first time around. As an added bonus this is my 3-year-old's favorite game, so thank you for creating it.
I'd say, compared to the original, this game has alot of upgrades and alot of sidegrades. They listened to the complains about the first game, and turned a mixed bag into a consistently good game. And that's great and all, and I'd definately say this is the better game, but I wouldn't consider it a definative edition because there are legitamate things that someone could prefer about the original.
at the end of the game I got to change my look into a punk baddy and now i have feelings
