Pros
Pro Immersive mode
DuckTales: Remastered features immersive mode support for full screen gameplay on hardware with software navigation buttons.
Pro Non linear gameplay with branching paths and hidden areas
The original DuckTales for the NES was created with the MegaMan engine by the main MegaMan design team. This allowed for a non linear gameplay design as well as many hidden areas, paths and treasures. The HD remakes still has all of this included in the game.
Pro Plenty of nostalgia for 80's kids
One of the main staples of having grown up in the 80's was Disney's after school cartoons. One of the more popular cartoons in this series was DuckTales, a tale about a rich uncle and his three nephews. To capitalize on the cartoons popularity Capcom created a platformer game from the franchise for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Unlike a lot of branded games of the time (E.T, Goonies) DuckTales turned out to be a very good game. One that just about anyone who grew up in the 80's should be familiar with, and even if not is at least familiar with the cartoon itself.
So now that 80's children have grown up and have jobs and money, the current trend is for companies to capitalize on that nostalgia. DuckTales: Remastered is an effort in that direction that sees the original NES title remastered with HD graphics and released on every platform known to man.
Pro HID controller support
DuckTales: Remastered has built in HID bluetooth controller support. This makes for a great game to play on tablets and Android box tops for the TV.
Pro Graphic settings help provide good performance on all hardware
There are actual graphical settings options in the setting of the game allowing the player to choose what settings work best for their device. This allows the game to look great on high end hardware, yet still perform well on low end hardware.
Pro Excellent choice of shooting RPG with new type of shooting animal
Movie like western style rogue game with bounty hunter action. Awesome game. Story with a twist in the middle and end of game. Play to find out..
Pro Intuitive adapted controls
From what was originally an XBox game meant to be played with a controller, Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath has been adapted quite well to touch screen. Intuitive features such as shaking the device to heal puts this game apart from other ports as time was actually taken to figure in features that work on the mobile platform.
Cons
Con Expensive
While some people may not agree, to see a 2 year old remastered port of a port be released at a price point of $9.99, the price is not really justified. While it is great to see more up front priced console quality games released for Android, 2 year old ports priced at premium prices (for the platform in comparison to other titles) is only showing Disney's greed at taking advantage of the fact that there are so few currently.
Con Linear story-line doesn't allow free movement
Once you complete all the missions in one town, there is no way to go back. This sort of defeats the purpose of a free-world game.
Con FPS sections are difficult to control
The first person shooter sections of the game can be a bit difficult as the player needs to remove their thumb from one of the touch screen movement sticks to shoot, making parts of movement impossible to control while shooting.
