lol... i love the old style
... if only they didnt let you save it would be perfect
... lol... jk... but it seriously brings back memories of marrio and DK where instead of making the game longer to get more game play, they simply made it imposible
... i kinda like that style better as it is actualy a challange to beat it, instead of being easy as long as you have the 400+ hours required to beat it
EDIT: and just mass farm to get a ton of cash, and get new gear every like 10 lvls or so... that way there is a massive stat increase, and you dont need to farm too much just cause u will naturally get enough money by the new level
