This one is not quite as good as the original, mostly from the fact that Emmzee was not the only person to work on the game (halfway through the game, development was handed off to Ibrahim for reasons I'm not aware of). After that point in the game, it seems to degenerate into a festival of annoying and repetitive boss battles with little chance to heal up between them (so if you take a hit in one fight, you're screwed in the next).

This game has an unbeatable boss fight late in the game due to multiple programming errors that could have been caught if it had been tested at all. (That is assuming you even got to that boss fight, because 3 of the 4 robots that are supposed to teleport you to the castle send you out of bounds instead of to the correct location!)

Tedious slog, check. Unfunny cameos, check. Unfunny Monty Python sound clips, check. Unwinnable due to a broken boss fight near the end of the game, check. Wow, it's a Shaq Hut game except unironic!

This game is not remotely "Gold Collection" material. Some of the graphics look nice so I can't really bring myself to give this a 1 star review (even though it deserves it). Don't bother.
