This should be in the official thread.

And this isn't going to change my mind one way or the other. I was going to buy it anyways remember Metacritic score=/= quality

That's only true for super-hyped games. This game wasn't hyped at all, so it must be great to have such an amazing score.

No. It is true for all games

For most cases, Metascore is a very good indication of the overall quality of the game. Unfortunately reviewers buy into the hype and that's when the score doesn't really reflect the quality of the game. But seeing as this game wasn't hyped at all, we shouldn't have to worry about that.

Reviews are useless in this game's case. Here's what you need to know. "Is it the same game? No shitty port?". That's all. Everything else in this game was reviewed to death already. The game could have a 97, an 87, or a 37, and all that matters is whether they ported it correctly. We can assess the remainder based on the original reviews. 

Yes, and the 97 implies that it was ported very well.
