I'm guessing it's been mentioned before, but Metroid Prime stands as one of the most disappointing games I have ever played. It certainly could've been worse, but it is called Metroid and it should be better.

I also never liked Super Smash Bros. much. I play it when I'm at my friends' place, and I'm not really bad, but I just never enjoy myself while playing it.

I mostly like what Nintendo brings out, but these games are just not my cup of tea to say the least.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Maybe you should go review unreleased movies and games at Amazon if you are so fond of reviewing stuff that you never touched.

On the other hand, I totally second Kingdom Hearts as a game I just never "got". I like the setting, but that's about all. Dragon Quest VIII is another one I just didn't like. So generic, I just couldn't fathom why everybody was hailing it as a return to form for RPGs.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I really liked the atmosphere and the art style and the story of Dragon Quest VIII, but all the time I spent leveling up just ruined the game for me.

I realize that in essence, that IS the Dragon Quest style and I should have expected it before I even bought the game. I was just hoping that it wouldn't be as "overkillish" if that is even a word as previous DQ games have been.

I guess you have a point in that if the execution was better gameplay-wise, I would've liked the presentation. I just felt that overall, it didn't have anything to set itself apart and was just really bland (including the grinding).

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
