A flashback to the original with style
If you are a platformer fan you will love this title but I will say its extremely challenging even if you are a pro, basically one hit and you are dead. The good thing is there is a unlimited lives option but don't get it wrong, it will still be challenging since this unlimited lives options is not what you may think in comparing it to other games. It actually makes the game more like conventional platformers in how you progress through the levels. That being said the graphics are outstanding and its cool that they are the same levels as the original game except better looking. I also love the fact that you can switch back and forth between the original graphics and current ones at any time during the game, definitely something for the fans. Overall very happy with this purchase and I hope more remakes are done like this.

Amazing. So much love put into this game.
This game is awesome! Completely faithful to the original (in fact exact), and I think the best feature is that you can switch real time from the DX version to the original SMS version (all that changes is the graphics). You can tell a lot of love was put into this game. It's obvious that this port's creators were huge fans of the original and placed a lot of emphasis on preserving it while creating a new experience for people who like the modern niceities and graphics. It's hard, but it has an infinite lives option which places near where you died in case you don't like the OG rules which made it way harder. So very playable, beatable and fun for newcomers and people who loved this OG master piece.

Nostalgic
Brings back childhood nostalgia. Loved playing this on a new console. So it made me dust off the old Master System and play Alex Kidd one more time
