    An odd package. It has got the finest game of all in the series in it, but that's backed up with reminders for why I'm fallen out of love with the franchise with the way it has progressed.

    On the whole, the game, in addition to being a mouthful, is a dutiful reworking of perhaps the finest crossover of the last console generation.

    These HD collections are simply getting us all prepared for 2017, and the wait will all be worth it. I just know it. (Please don’t let me down.)
