Playing the game right now, and it's very disappointing. I don't like the added Nico gameplay, it feels out of place. Graphics in the added segments looks very nice but not in tune with the original segments. The new character portraits during dialogue look ugly and amateurish and many have wrong details (eg. character on screen has a red bow-tie, and the portrait has a green one, then there are mismatched clothing, hairstyle, hair color.....). Graphics during telephone conversations are missing in this version, and are replaced by those small ugly portraits. And the sound quality (dialogue especially) is all over the place. Also I might be wrong on this, but seems to me many hotspots in the original game are gone, so fewer hotspots means gameplay is simplified, and it feels easier. And add on to that, the hotspots are highlighted automatically, it feels like I'm following a step by step walkthrough. So to those who are thinking about getting this downgrade version, DON'T... Just stick with the original and play it again...
