I never actually played the Gamecube/Wii versions as I avoided those consoles, so for me it's a fresh and new entry into one of my favorite franchises... And I am actually enjoying it so far.
And it stands up visually. - If there was a small (And I mean SMALL) nitpick, is that the Anti-Aliasing and Texture filtering could have been improved... Especially as the game runs at a sub-native resolution so it sticks out.
