That's right, I wanted to like this game I really did but the more I play it the more it dawns on me just how pathetically retarded it is.
At first I was enjoying myself, the graphics where amazing and the puzzles seemed simple but okay. I'm starting to realise though why it got such low marks, it stupidly linear, the majority of puzzels are pathetically simliar and extremely simple. It's like Zelda for retards...not just your normal retard though these would have to be super, super retards. Sometimes i've got stuck because I find myself looking into the puzzle to much when actual fact I should be looking for a stupid symbol on the wall, absoloute ar$e.
I games where rated on graphics then this would be the best game of the year, unfortunatly they're not and I agree with Digitiser this deserves 2/10, not because it's THAT bad, it's bad but not THAT bad but because Rare should have done so much better, they've proved they can before so what in Gods name possessed them when they where making this steaming pile of toss I realy don't know.
Oh and this is coming from someone who loved DK64 and thinks Banjo Tooie is one of the best games ever.
I'll play the game to the end just because, but it'll be going back as soon as I finish it.

Hmm, been some mixed opinions about it, independent reviewers may not have liked it, but there were still people saying it was pretty special, and i wanted to believe them.
Ah well.
I wonder just how long rare have known they were ditching ninty. Wish this had come out as dinosaur planet on the N64, might have turned out better.

I agree that it's very linear, easy and the puzzles aren't challenging.
Yet, I can't seem to stop playing it...

The power button is the grey one

I know...but..if I turn it off, I won't be able to play SFA anymore..
Got it today. Took it back today. Wasted my time today.
So is it the pile of dogs anus that you say it is?
If so, then bye bye me 1000 stars for it!

It's a good thing I don't useually go for games like this then. I think I'll be spending my money on something more worth while, there's plenty more games I want for my Cube at the minute.
I think it's great! I've got a nice upgrade for my staff, the flying levels are ace and I'm really enjoying it. And I haven't even left the first area! Zelda will kick it to timbuk-two, though.
First Mario, then Star Fox, what could the next big name GC disappointment be?
Metroid Prime has been showered with praise and surely Zelda can't fall flat on it's face...can it? Just goes to show even the big boys get things wrong.
