Worth the upgrade as it’s one I enjoy watching over & over. A must Have for any Horror fan or A Halloween Movie purchase.

Cons:
-Sound; While I do appreciate & noticed a new 7.1 audio track, it lacked rear channels. I wish it had gotten completely remastered to drown out the flat/distorted mono sound. It was ear piercing to turn it up. While I do prefer to preserve it, I think it should’ve been optional on the drop down menu with a new Atmos mix that would provide gunshots of today with great sounding impact. When the theme came on though, it was a different story! I was bassy too, I don’t know if it’s been like that & I just noticed or it just got added but I loved it!!
-Digital Copy; no digital copy. You think you would for buying the 4K premium copy. Sigh.

Picture states “Digital Copy” & didn’t receive it.

-Feature:
Finally got around to it last night & really enjoyed this sequel. Great continuation to the storyline. Like how they used the least amount of CGI to make it look authentic. Love that a great movie doesn’t have to be overstimulated with action. Had me locked in the entire time despite being 2 1/2 hours. Just the idea to see another one being made after 35 years & have the main star return is mind blowing. I could go on but trying to keep it shorter. A must own sequel for many factors.

Pros:
Sound; definitely an Atmos reference demo! Not rich in details like the first one but big & full dynamic. Some use of overhead but not heavy like the first one. The sound, visuals inside the movie & of course the movie itself is the highlights!

Cons:
-3D; Poor level. Only time you noticed it was during the snow & a fire specs scene.
-Digital Copy; No (biggest disappointment to order for that reason too only to get a copy w/out it. Called support only to get transferred 3x, 2 hours on the phone, them not wanting to acknowledge the screw up on their end by attaching a deceiving photo of the actual product only to get hung up on & end up not with the correct copy I purchased. Hence my one star in hopes they take notice. Do NOT sell something you don’t have if that is why I didn’t receive the copy on listing)

-Feature:
Hank Azaria did a fab job again bringing his character to life. I had laughs because of him and his side kick cat. I felt the voice characters felt short especially George Lopez. Nothing special or that stood out for being him. I could’ve given you a better performance for a fraction of what he got paid for monotone dialog. I was disappointed & I actually enjoy him but does horrible voice over work.

Pros:
-Picture; 3D availability. It got downgraded a notch to mid range compared to a high range on the first. Some depth & maybe a pop out or two but subtly.
-Digital Copy; Yes, HD only.

Cons:
-Sound; 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio that could have been 7.1 considering the year. If I wanted a 5.1 I would have stocked with DVD. Granted I up-mix with DTS Neural X or Dolby Surround for an immersive simulation but seriously get with the times. Could have used Atmos by this time around for sure.

Pros:
The new 1080p picture had me impressed being my first game I tested, compared to my previous 720 unconverted via hdmi adapter for the Wii. It’s a major jump as I skipped the Wii U console. Although I feel it should be caught up with the times & be in the 4K field by now.
Game is plenty fun. Like the new features for example “Drift“ mode. I never figured out how to or control it for the Wii & love doing it for this one as the sparks changes colors depending on your execution.

Cons:
Wish it came with a digital copy like movies do so that I can bounce between games without switching them out physically.
My other major complain is that I can’t play online with friends or other users free at charge like it use to be on the Wii.

Cons:
-3D; Lacked even for an OLED where it shines. Some depth but not enough. No pop outs or enough demential effect.
-Sound; No Atmos even on the 3D disc which is the biggest led down. The biggest reason I got it thinking both were on the 3D disc. Only on the 2D disc which defeats the purpose of my buying 3D & not cheap too. It’s discouraging to watch it twice back to back to listen to the Atmos track which should’ve been in the 3D version in the first place.

Cons:
- Somewhat easy to setup. What to do with the strip part after swapping out the peep hole was confusing. Videos didn’t explain. Had to figure it out.
- Quality degrades massively when you zoom in.
- Speaker voice projection can be distorted, could use clarity & be louder volume.
- has a delay when detecting & announcing a person at the door. Instant when cam button is pushed however.
- can be unresponsive at times.
- Going on day 12 & full charge battery is on 46%. Claims to go for 6 months under high efficiency settings but why promote it under those unrealistic circumstances that no one will select.
- Fee after 30 day Trail.
