Pros
Pro Unique Style
Self described as an "afro-caribbean" vibe. With character faces that resemble tribal masks as well as the main characters sporting Caribbean accents there is no doubt the game was designed with black culture in mind.
Pro Quality presentation
The characters are 3D rendered on top of beautiful hand painted backgrounds with it all blending nicely to a very neatly finished look.
Pro Satisfying puzzles
The Journey Down offers challenging puzzles that give the user quite a bit of satisfaction when solved. Not that they are too difficult but just not that the game hands the answers to the player on a platter either.
Pro Online and LAN co-op
Users can connect over LAN or TCP/IP for up to 6 player co-op.
Pro New NPCs to choose from
There are two or three new NPCs your PC encounters, and can add one or more to your adventuring party.
Pro Plays like original with more portraits available for PCs and the Black Pits arena combat module
Plays just like the original game with the same hidden treasures. When creating PCs, you have more available portraits to choose from. Black Pits Arena combat module is awesome, but gets really deadly in the later rounds.
Cons
Con Chapters are extremely short
Even though the game is broken up into separately purchasable chapters, each chapter is pretty short, even when considering all chapters combined the game in full will still be short.
Con Modded original can offer better experience
Depending on if one want to go through the trouble, but modding the original game can offer a better experience over this enhanced edition.
