I didn't quite like the visual style either, but I'm being realistic: after the absolutely terrible sixth and seventh installments, when it seemed like the series was completely dead, it's better to have this attempt at a polished old-school style than to step on the same rakes for the third time and release another 3D game. The chances of a decent game are much higher. Of course, there's no hope for it to reach the level of the third game, but at least it will be something enjoyable.
