Why couldn't a side scroller have enough replay value? I tend to agree with most folks here who are for the side scroller option. Although I love the 3D concept a lot and this new Angela character reminds me of the famous Tomb Raider and my favourite Lara Croft so much, and although I don't have any real relation to the original (old) Montezuma's Revenge, I still prefer the side scroller option cause there have already been several rather good and complex 3D games while we have only one side scroller that's atractive and funny, but it's still just one. :-) As most people said, when you release the original Monty as intended, you can do some 3D version later on if ya like. Just my thoughts.
