I've been playing this game for 12 years and still enjoyed it until this update. I can appreciate the effort made to give it a fresher look, but I'm not a fan of the moving camera with how it effects weight judgment and kind of makes you dizzy while you play. I'm not sure of this because I've only just played this version today, but the physics seem a little off too.
I would have been happy with just rule updates like the five rock free guard zone and the tick rule being implemented.
Another cool option would be a mixed doubles option.
Maybe for some, this version is better, but I really hope there is an option to play the "classic" version soon.
