+
Great ambience
Creepy and tense atmosphere
Great cutscenes
Great variation overall
Tells a story without using any (understandable) dialogue
Cinematic
Great variation
Some good puzzles
More detail than in some other versions
-
Extreme trial & error
A bit short
Unevenly placed checkpoints
Different ending music
The tank "puzzle" (random button pressing with unintuitive interface)
Major slowdown in some parts
Sluggish control
Can't jump up ledges like in PoP/flashback
One extremely vague puzzle (at the part where you threaten an enemy and he locks a door, you're supposed to make the guy in the room above throw several bombs down the stairway but it doesnt work if you follow the grenade down one screen - you have to wait above the stairs)
Notes:
-Original version is from 1991
