I think it looks ugly compared to the original.

Still open minded about it.

It looks 16-bit compared to the original's 8-bit æsthetic. I like them both.

I only started playing the first game a few weeks back but I've been enjoying it. Not sure about the visuals on the sequel though. Looks a bit too much like duelling Homer Simpsons.
