Gotta move some numbers after Failspoken. 
Was Actraiser Renaissance good? Loved the original.. Was so insanely jealous of that game being pro Sega back in the day.
Didn't care one bit for the remake -
-the art style was hideous, giving everything a sheen and a weird prerendered look, made it look like some lost Saturn game from '95.
-the game also forces you into mandatory tower defense sections that take wayyyy too long
-the game also is much more rigid in the simulation sections in how you can grow your city
The positives are - there's a new postgame area (though it's nothing too special) and there are a bunch of new tracks from Koshiro, that can be played in both arranged and SNES-style. Some of those tracks are really good (especially the theme of Aitos)
