Spoiler: Brood War is cooler.
Seriously though, while the model can look as silly as they want, the sound is an issue. In terms of the 'feel' of the lurker, you don't get the same 'okay, that shit will WRECK ME' warning. In terms of actual gameplay, it is hard to hear.
I think they did a good job making DT swipes very noticeable, even in huge engagements. Everyone dreads hearing that sound. The lurker needs a similar sound, one that instills fear and also makes the unit f****** cool.
The awesome Brood War music into really lame SC2 sounds (like crickets and birds) was unintentional but added to the 'SC2 lurker is really lame' effect.
