That game was OK, but was filled with minigames and cartoon-y graphics. It looks like they're going the same way with this one. It lacked a certain appeal the old games had. But I can also see how this could me amazing if implemented correctly. *crosses fingers* If it's anything like the one for mobile handsets, then I'm a little worried.

There's really no other name for the 'hunting' activity. Adding a few more of those wouldn't be the end of the world, so long as the strategy portion doesn't get lost in the shuffle. Personally, I'd rather see them do a proper ground-up re-imagining and have someone else just port the classic. To be fair, it's not like the original -didn't- have mini-games.

It has gone through many versions--so what people think of as the "original" game play may not even be the original. It's not my thing, but I know it has its fans.

Or better yet, just leave the game as it was. Don't fix what ain't broke. If you're going to replace the graphics with goofy cartoons, not only do I want to die of dysentery, it better be animated.
