I recently aquired RR from Songbird and I sat down to play it for the first time last night. I've played the 3DO version some so it's not my first time with the game in general.
Well, I played the 3DO version numerous times, and generally ended up dead by some unseen assailant, usually a tiger. In the Jaguar version, I've already killed two tigers that I was able to see from a distance and prepare! The game is actually FUN on the Jaguar! The biggest improvement, to me, is the Jaguar's keypad! It allows you to move around without using the cursor and arrow buttons and it absolutely saved me from a quick death with the tigers as I could "walk and chew gum at the same time" so to speak. The Jaguar's keypad is a God-send for this game!
other than that, it's pretty identical to the 3DO version. It seems to me the Jag version has cleaner FMV, I like the garaud shading over the 3DO's fog effect, and as I recall the 3DO had a grey background to go along with the fog effect (to hide polygons popping into view), while the Jaguar actually shows sky and clouds, but you do notice the polygons popping into view, but I like it better this way, I think it looks better.
Other than those things, the Jag and 3DO versions seem identical, and another example to prove the Jag is a least as powerful as the 3DO (every game on both the 3DO and Jag are either identical, or the Jag version is better!).
