Cutscenes work. Although, having re-watched the opening cutscene for the first time in years, I wish I skipped it. It's pure cringe.
This is the Extended Edition version, by the way, which I think is just the original plus the DLC levels. Redux is the remaster, which I've never played. Notably, it was NOT one of those remasters given out for free to people who already had the original game. To their credit, they did for some time have a pretty hefty loyalty discount of 85% for people who bought the original, but it wasn't enough to make me buy the same game again.
