I'd say every way but one, and it's a major one: it's very, very limited. The old Red Box was a (mostly) complete role-playing game, while the new box is just the equivalent to a fancy introductory chapter. That said, it's a VERY fancy introductory chapter, and the minis are what's really special about it.
