Have you ever noticed how good games have crap adverts, and crap games have good adverts - it's the same issue with films!

Those damn adverts get you all hyped and excited, then when you get the game it turns out to be nothing like what the advert displayed.

Still, this isn't always the case, but I still think they should stop being so deceitful and show what the game's really like.

Examples of deceit:

FIFA 2001/2002
WipeOut Fusion

BOTH PANTS!!!

True, but there are some games that are TOO hard. Everyone likes a challenge, but if you continuosly try to master a game, and don't succeed, you tend to give up!

I admit, Wipeout Fusion is a good game, maybe I have to try a little bit harder.

Zelda:OOT advert. Wicked Advert I think, and the game definitely lived up to the hype.

But it's not only WipeOut Fusion, GTA3's a good game, but the way the advert showed it wasn't how it really is. Okay, you do shoot people, drive around and do missions, but it's a lot more difficult than it looks.
