"Gah, Stupid Nintendo"

From a review of "Pikmin" on IGN:

"That said, it becomes extremely important to take care of your Pikmin because of the tight 30 day schedule. Unfortunately, in game time each day is only about 15-20 minutes long depending on cut-scenes and pauses. So in the main adventure only amounts to about 10-12 hours of gameplay. This is perhaps Pikmin's biggest flaw. It rushes you through these lush environments forcing you to complete the game in about 10-12 hours. Ever worse the last two of the five environments are absolutely spectacular, packed with puzzles, and we need not spoil the awesome last boss for you. Why is that a bad thing? Simply because you don't want it to end. Pikmin is such a fresh, new kind of experience and you are rushed through it."

So it forces you to finish in about 10hrs?
Balls to that.
I think I wasted my money on a Gamecube to be honest, Star Wars is good but I've done it and the Monkey Ball thing is simplicity itself.
And nowt being released I want.

That'll learn me to ignore my instinct and return to my own vomit.

You should get Morrowind then. Out already for PC (but you'll need a real beefy one to run it), and out on Xbox in a couple of months.

Hundreds of hours of gameplay, completely free roaming structure. Sounds an ideal game for you.

::bashes wrists together in excitement:: Oooooooooo ! A whole game !!!!
:-))

Not to worry...

If nothing else, at least your primed for grabbing Mario Kart when Nintendo finally release it! :)

(If Nintendo has such an anti-net play point of view, why are they taking pre-orders for Phantasy Star On-Line 3?)

Bloody fool

Nah PS2 games are infrequently good, they surprise and dissapoint you. X-box i played for 5 minutes who am i to judge?

Your the fool for taking that obvious attempt to wind someone up seriously... looks like you were that person.

The time limit on Pikmin doesnt put me off. As in Zelda Majoras mask the time limit initially had me wary, but it doesnt really matter.
