Pros
Pro Really good touch controls
For a game with fighting mechanics and many moves the touch screen controls actually work really well. Much as one would hold a controller the left hand controls movement including a jump and the right allows for punching, kicking, stomping and a combo of using both thumbs to do jumping attacks.
Pro Great sense of humor
A fist that talks, stripper bears, constantly breaking the fourth wall are all thing to be found in this game. There is an enjoyable sense of humor to be found that makes the game stand out from most beat em ups.
Pro Challenging and fun
For what is a 20 year old game to still hold in gameplay, story and presentation is quite a feat and an enjoyable one at that.
Pro Great remake
The newly added HD graphics show that much time was spent creating a fantastic remake of what was a very iconic game.
Pro Controller support
Another World features controller support for MOGA devices as well as the Xperia Play.
Cons
Con Combat feels too repetitive
Once one figures out the timing and best maneuvers the core of the fighting can feel repetitive and gets boring.
Con Some issues with the control scheme
Touch controls for movements such as jump can be hard to pull off as the swipe gesture needs to be very exact.
