I think you underestimate how much I expect from Nintendo games.

I played through and beat Pikmin 2 on a rental (yes, and all the challenges), so I couldn't justify purchasing it, even though I thorougly enjoyed it.

Remember when games used to be about playing and playing until you got a higher score, then trying to better it? Good times, one of the many reasons I love Wario Ware.

Same here.  I mean come on.  Rare making a Zelda style adventure.  How it could it go wrong right?  What's sad is that even though all the reviews warned me that the game wasn't very good I bought it anyway.  And then while playing I tried so hard to convince myself that I liked it even though there was a voice in my head telling me otherwise.

"Admit it Ian this game sucks."
"No, it's got great graphics and it's like Zelda."
"Come on.  The battles are just button mashing and you have to collect all this useless crap."
"But it's a Rare game. It has to be good."
"This is the sixth time that barrel exploded before you got to the top of the tower.  Admit it.  You're not having fun."
"No it's just a difficult puzzle.  They have stuff like that in Zelda, kinda."
"Prince Tricky's talking again.  God that guy's annoying."
"No he's just... aw hell this game does suck."

After making this realization I turned the game off and I haven't touched it since.  It's bad enough Rare only released one Cube game but the fact that it's by far their worst game as a Nintendo second party is incredibly disappointing.

As a whole, this forum is pretty over this thread.

GTA SA is the best game on gamecube
