That is quite a brilliant poster featuring the wonderful art of the original game. There is an artbook for the sequel which has a lot of amazing images as well worth getting prints:

They have a habit of showing how you have to do something 3 times over in 3 sections in an environment, but they really should have limited it to two or one and leave the remainder as "cut content". Another possibility would be to have the game randomly choose one path per playthrough roguelike-style, just to make replays not exactly the same, so there'd be no fatique with the environments. The Chinese devs even made a Chinese environment which they made some excuse just to have it in the game, so while nice the director didn't want to constrain the creative team, should have attempted some workarounds like my ideas to cut some content in the sequel.

EA and other publishers typically packaged a large variety of games together in one affordable bundle once the games have become old. Just to squeeze out the last bit of revenue from the properties, but gave budget gamers like myself a chance to play the games. It is definitely a positive unique element I enjoyed of physical media in scrounging through clearance bins for games I'd like.
