Ive been having trouble getting into the first one, I think it's something you had to play in its own time to really appreciate, which isn't exactly unusual.

Having utterly loved the game and completed it several times over within a few weeks of the UK release back in 2000, I wholeheartedly agree. I couldn't imaging this type of game working now at all.

Well hopefully this third one retains the style and charm of the first two to please the fans who have been begging for a third installment for over a decade while updating it enough that nostalgia isn't a prerequisite to enjoying it.

Given how much the fanbase has been dying for this, though, I do hope they prioritize their desires over the rest of us; I hate when a new installment of a favorite franchise overhauls itself in an attempt to appeal to new players and winds up alienating everyone.
