I agree completely. I've never been sniped from across a map, and the few times I've been shot from off screen were my own fault for rushing. I'm not as far as you (scene 18, I think) but the difficulty seems fair for someone who loved the first game. Originally I was disappointed in how the enemies failed to respond to gunshots, but I've grown to enjoy how it forces you to mix up your play style (especially the soldier levels, which are my favorite). It's a lot of fun going between an HM1 style blitzkrieg and a more measured approach all on the same floor, which the windows and open spaces allow for. I'm enjoying the hell out of it.
I love Isaac, but I don't know that I'll go back and play the original again. Maybe if the performance somehow improves I'll give it a look, but I'm way too deep into Rebirth at this point. Real Platinum God is close...
