However, it cannot but bug me that this HD re-release isn't properly configured to run widescreen on a widescreen monitor without me sacrificing screen real estate to get the effect.Hi Gid, actually my project is 1080x1920, but I have some jpg files included in the project which are 3840x2160. So, the issue was fixed and I have ended up with the same viewing experience as provided by the original. Not only this, but the graphics look just as sharp and the subtitles are smaller and less intrusive whilst the text appears crisper.

Upon re-booting the game, I now found myself presented with a letterbox view but the full widescreen experience I had with the original. So I knocked my display settings down to 1280 x 1024 and knocked the Xbox 360 from Widescreen into Normal settings.

However, I could not shake off the irk I felt. Forever the geeky nerd, I whipped out my dusty Xbox and the original BG&E and did a compare and contrast only to find that I was correct in my assumption - the re-release offers a lesser horizontal viewing angle than the original! Now, I can only assume that this is simply a case of the game not being true 1080p, and that in order to fill the screen the image is altered. However, despite this re-release running on a widescreen monitor at 1080p, the image seemed to lack the horizontal width of the original, and the vertical width also appeared slightly enlarged or stretched.

This is something that those people who might play Xbox 360 games on a non-widescreen TV / monitor may be familiar with if they have adjusted their display settings from Widescreen to Normal - the 360 displays games in a forced widescreen / letterbox image. To elaborate, the original version of BG&E featured a forced widescreen / letterbox image which meant that, even if played on a non-widescreen TV, you were still provided with a widescreen view. However, as a proud owner of the original Xbox version, I noticed that the HD re-release appeared to be more 4:3 than 16:9 / 10 when I played it in 1920 x 1080 (1080p) settings on my widescreen monitor, despite the image filling the entire screen. Not trying to put people off getting this as I love the game.
