Let's go step by step (I haven't tested out local co-op) Main game - They've improved some menu and HUD stuff which is nice. They've also added a statistics page which says 0 for everything. I remember this happening in Super Stardust a lot, there's no point in it if it just keep sending you back to 0. Uncharted 2 has a similar issue where it's not clear whether the stats are for one gameplay, or all of them, or a couple I only played a level on rookie and it's clearly much easier than before, borderline boring. Rookie used to get my heart racing a bit, but as I warm up again, I'll move back to the proper difficulty settings Ship editor - I downloaded the X-Wing and Gummi ship immediately and they look nice, but I found making a ship a bit of a pain. I'm not sure why, but it just seems so fiddly. Speaking of the gummi ship, the KH I (HD remix, but I think it's the same) editor was much better, certainly in terms of moving in 3 dimensions with the d-pad (use shoulder buttons for height) and I felt the camera was lacking. But the only issues with the end result were in artistic design, that's my bad Survivor - Should be fun, probably need some more time to adjust Demolition - Dunno. I'll give it some more time, but I'm never convinced about their modes where they stray too far from the core gameplay Overall, the actual DLC isn't that great, but it's a good excuse to get back to a great game. It's also dirt cheap so can be forgiven |
I think the stats is at 0 because it's a new feature...it seems like they want all the stats, leaderboards etc. to only reflect whats been played in the updated version. Otherwise i believe stats accumulate across multiple games.
Rookie is definitely easier..it really is in slow motion. The other difficulties, starting from experienced have gotten significantly harder.
I feel like they perfectly nailed the difficulty level in the original version. But considering that they not only tweaked the diffuculty but also the effectiveness of the ships along with shorter overdrives, shorter boosts and weaker weapons, it doesnt feel as balanaced.
These are obviously design decisions though, i think the DLC is worth the money. I would have charged more if i were sony lol XD not much more though.
