I feel like I probably would love this game if it weren't for the weird control flaws. It's a shame more care wasn't put into the final product, especially with the horrible state the controls were in when it first released on XBLA/PSN with only eight directional controls.
Sorry for the bump but I have some questions. How does this version compare to the Saturn release? Have the controls been fixed on PC? Would it potentially be better to emulate the original game?
Its HD, its the PS2 port, the control issue is fixed although its not 1-1 from what I've heard, its got a small amount of audio issues, like some slight desync, but it looks nice, and it has Christmas NiGHTS (granted its incomplete) Personally, Id recommend HD, specifically for the sake of supporting a near-flatlining IP, but the authentic one emulated is just as good, if not better, in my opinion.
