I'd give this a 10 out of 10 in gameplay. The original was one of the best 10 or 15 computer games ever made, and I was really hoping that they didn't change the gameplay too much because it probably would have just ruined it -- and they did exactly what I wanted. Kept the same basic gameplay with a few upgrades.........this is one of the most addicting games ever made. Most games you play through and beat and then you're done and don't really care too much about playing it again........but this one, just like the original, you will play through a career and then immediately start up a new one. Definitely one of the best games released in the past year.
Which brings up a huge problem.........companies have generally stopped making good hybrid games like this. There are still a few, but there are so many interesting games released in the late 1980s and early 1990s that would never get released now. Most good games released now are just a rehash of another concept........and it's the same concept over and over. You don't see people releasing games now that are a simulation of the race to space, for example. I wish they would.
