You make a vaild point, and while I personally don't mind the new art direction, I understand the unhappiness with going from 2D to WhateverD. It's a classic game getting redone in our ZOMG3D world, so you will either love it (cuz you never played it) or hate it (cuz it doesn't look like it used to). Still, if the gameplay holds up, that iron clad mammal can look as stupid as can be and I'll enjoy it. The main word there being IF.

What art direction? Looks like they just slapped shit together in that game.

Who are you to talk about art you cock smoker?!?!?!

Reminds me more of the sidescrolling levels in Crash Bandicoot than it does RKA or Sparkster.

With great regret, I must inform you that I am your father, Pineapple.

No father would ever regret having me! I POST ON THE INTERNET!

I just checked out the screenshots... that shit is hideously ugly, it'd take at least a twelve pack for me even to consider taking it home and fucking it.

Exactly what I was going to say. But, as long as it controls like the old games, that is all that matters.

Maybe they can include the original?

This is what I was thinking as well - hell, I'd even pay a separate $5 to buy Rocket Knight Adventures as a Sega Vintage XBLA title.

On the note of this game, though - hearing the constant bitching about the graphics is getting so incredibly old. It was old back when people were bitching about the backgrounds of New Super Mario Bros DS, tiresome when people were comparing a single cropped screen shot of the new Earthworm Jim, and annoying now that they're pointing at this and yelling, "UNCLEAN!" Give it a rest.

There are many criticisms that can be levied against LBP, but "its art direction is shit" is not one. I'll thank you not to liken it to this turd.
