Is;

- Beautiful
- Clever
- Funny
- Disappointing
- RPG-Lite (Not a good thing)
- Intuitive - combat/magic is great
- Again, beautiful
- Good in some of its quests - boasts are good

Isn't;

- Engrossing AT ALL
- as fun as you all said it was
- Awful
- Seamless
- Brilliant
- great-in-it's-social-interactions-which was-the-main-thing-everybody-appeared-to-love

It's good in bits, rubbish in others. Looks/sounds/feels great. Social interactions suck - you tap some buttons until someone likes/hates you, and then run away to some new place - there's simply nothing to do of any real importance - sure you can say 'get drunk and listen to people laugh' etc, then 'go kill monsters while drunk' - doesn't make the game any more interesting.

Good, but nothing, nothing to what it was supposed to be - and that's not just in the missing features, it's also in the simple fact it's just not as good as it should be....

Anyone wanna buy? O, and Riddick too, which was also good, but I didn't love it much either.....

Deus Ex was dark the whole time. All over the world, it was dark.

Was alright.

NG was wonderous, insanely hard, but wonderous. But wasn't as good as Zelda. I just didn't like it very much at certain points.

I found Ninja Gaiden lovely to look at, but boring.

Heh, it's like a tangled web of gaming interests, all leading to one common point - we'll all like Halo 2!

This isn't a discussion about Burnout 3....

WW was less enjoyable than it should have been.

OOT still stands head and shoulders above everything else, except MP, which I realise half of you find even more boring.

I find the Zelda games... dull.

Wind Waker was a constant battle to stay awake. Did they forget that it can actually be fun to make the games even slightly difficult?!

I actually found Deus Ex 2 : IW more enjoyable than Fable.

What is it then?

I seem to have found it very quickly - and it's rather disappointing.
