yeah i could safely say, this is more playable then the original. which in itself says something. It has the same concept, but there is something more appealing to it. The combo and power ups are a fresh change too. So I cant see what there is to complain about. It will do well, because it looks and plays excellently. Who really asks "is this game original" when buying ? I dont, i just want it to be fun and look good.. so this one passes with flying colors!
