I think the original S'pht 'Kr actually looks better than the XBLA one. I mean, all the XBLA ones look terrible when you actually see them in the game, but you can actually see the s'pht under the dome! I never really noticed that, and they went and made the dome opaque! That is the worst offense in this. With those extra pixels, they could have given that s'pht more, well, definition, but they chose to be lazy on that front. What a missed opportunity.
