wtf some reviews
is reviewers telling developers don't remake a game,just remaster it?

Apparently they're saying don't remake a game if you're going to ruin it in the process in some ways (hey, their words...not mine)

Eurogamer: "Instead of being teased into the new look, the original's artwork is too often just trampled over. The golden brown dust of Combat Evolved's world has been turned to burning white sand, while the dark expanses at the depths of the Forerunner architecture have been lit up and filled out with panels of electric-blue steel. There's still a sense of wonder here, but it's a more garish one than the melancholic fantasy conjured by Bungie.
And if at times Anniversary's new look is insensitive, at others it's just plain clumsy. Some of Bungie's visual cues have mysteriously not made the journey over to the remastered version, the flashing doors that signpost the way in Assault on the Control Room being absent in Anniversary's new mode. Cloaked elites, meanwhile, are hidden within the new detail and clutter, demanding that you often have to switch over to the classic visuals in order to progress."

A remake does not always equal better than the original, not saying this remake isn't the better version since I haven't played it but that's what I get from reading some of the reviews.

than choose back to orignal,there is an option

the reviewer just complaining for no reason,there is almost opposite review between IGN and Eurogamer
