we could go on and on about the mistakes and so on in TBP, Drazi Beams having the wrong color, incorrect flying physics blablabla.
It all comes down to this:
If you want to have fun, play TBP and stop mocking or play the hyper-realistic I've found her and get ready for frustration. (Example: the final mission, where you first have to fly a minute long patrol before the final fight and repeat the thing every time you die. And you will probably die a lot

)
I am not saying it's a bad game, I liked it too and finished it on normal and hard difficulty setting without cheating or something.
But TBP is just so much more accessible.
