    Want to pre-order sooooo bad, but I just feel the need to wait for reviews on this one.

    So expensive! I mean, sure the original game is one of my all-time favourites, and this one seems to iron out a lot of the annoying parts while keeping the same overall theme, but 60 dollars?! I was expecting something more like 40 dollars for a reboot of a somewhat obscure franchise, especially considering that the graphics, while good, don't exactly have that premium game feeling to them.
