the difficulty is all over the place, the levels are mostly flat squares, the tarot challenges are annoying at best and downright sadistic at worst, and all the guns save one are nothing but weaker copies of the original game. belial won't shut up and none of his quips are worth a hoot, and load times are oddly long for being a 2004 game I am currently playing on an SSD. and on top of all of that, the game just feels outright worse than black edition. the enemies don't react as well, there's not as much weight to the combat, there's all sorts of little things missing that add up to a truly inferior experience., I don't know why anyone defends this. it's mediocre at best, and not the upper end of it.
