    A pleasant trip down memory lane, but not the one you absolutely need to take. [CD-Action 10/2013, p.66]

    I can’t see many people who grew up only knowing what a virtual gun is accepting the shortness and difficulty curve of DuckTales Remastered.

    Duck Tales Remastered is a little gem churned out by Capcom and WayForward.

    Ducktales Remastered is a nostalgia trip from start to end, frustrating, life-taking warts and all.

    It comes packing a few twists, some better than others. Refreshed boss fights are a nice touch, but Remastered’s confounding emphasis on its story is disruptive and annoying, even if it comes packing some great voice acting.

    More rehashed than remastered, your childhood might be better served holding onto old memories rather than making new ones.

This game is way better than the classic and legendary NES version with a storyline to boot. The voice acting is spot on. The gameplay is fast and fluid. The graphics are beautiful and the game itself is a legendary series. Maybe this will encourage Capcom to make a Duck Tales 3 you know without any dlc lol!) BUY THIS GAME! 10/10!!… Full Review »

    Pros:
    -Beautiful graphic
    -Funny Dialogues
    -Amazing soundtrack
    -Good optimization
    -Challenging, but not annoying

    Cons:
    -Missing speech animations
    -Doesn't work with every Joy-pad    … Full Review »
