The general sentiment among players is divided. While there is enthusiasm for reliving childhood memories and appreciation for the improved graphics and cross-play functionality, many players are frustrated by frequent crashes and feel disappointed by the absence of advertised features like split-screen co-op. The game is viewed by some as a cash grab, offering little beyond a graphical facelift from previous editions. For players seeking a nostalgic journey with technical challenges, it may be worthwhile, but others might find the current state unplayable and not worth the price.
