The audio score is pleasingly epic. Big boss battles are highlighted by the appropriate crescendo in the orchestral score, and in the same turn made better by knowing when to put silence into the equation. The big sound effects are very good, and give you the appropriate sensations when dealing with a giant squirming, oozing creature. But where this game does good with the audio elements, it starts to fail in the area of visual flow.

The framerate starts to dip when dealing with a large horde of enemies at one time. The giant enemies also cause the same hiccups and are unforgivable when considering that this game is over a year old and should have no difficulties running on the PS3. It seems ridiculous that this game would have these sorts of problems, especially considering that Capcom makes yet another mandatory 5GB install before being allowed to play. This is starting to become an obnoxious trend, and if every game is going to require this sort of disk space, those with the 20GB’s out there will need to consider an upgrade, and quick.

Another disappointing element comes with the removal of the achievements that were present on the 360. With the upcoming inclusion of Home on the PSN and the new “accomplishments” that are popping up for it, it seems like converting those over from the 360 version shouldn’t have been too difficult to pull off. What is even better is that the coins strewn about every level which corresponded with the achievements are still there. Only now, they do absolutely nothing. They don’t unlock anything; they are just there to waste ammunition on.

So while this was a great opportunity to revamp an aging game and work out any flaws it had for a re-release, the company took the safe route and merely ported this over without fixing anything. In fact, there is nothing that makes this a necessary release except for those PS3 owners out there who have nothing else with which to play this game on. So for those of you out there with that issue, this game may be a good rental. But for anyone who was waiting to see whether they should drop the bucks on the reissue copy, they would be better suited plopping their dollars down on the 360 version, if only to get their achievements back.
