It has, ironically, grown on me from my original impressions from the samples on the websites. You're right -- in most cases it's not making any attempt to preserve the original. It is a decent reimagination, though. I've actually played through the game in it's entirety and while there are some pretty bad songs (generally), overall I think it actually works much better in game than it does standalone. I think a large part of that has to do with the fact that you end up hearing the songs looped over and over and you're not just going from track 1 .. 53, so the variety of arrangement styles isn't as overbearing when you're playing the game.
