From what I've read Savage XR is going to be cool. Fixes some bugs, adds some graphical elements, gives the game a bit of modern polish. Not sure about the new music, i kind of like the original music although this feature can be turned off.

Now if I could only learn how to play....

when's it available to try??

it was kind of mentioned it may be here for christmas, if not maybe 7th on Jan as thats 1 year after SFE. But I think they still have a lot of work to do so maybe later.
