FFX and everything that came after that, and Chrono Cross. Having played all the earlier Final Fantasy games and loved them, and seeing as how Chrono Trigger was like the best game ever made in the history of video games, they did have a lot to live up to.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The Wi-Fi is very laggy and you can't change the rules of the match when you play random people on Wi-Fi. The controls don't seem as good as Melee's either.

atleast it had wi-fi, i think it is the best. it did live up to the hype. Subspace Admesarie isnt EPIC but its cool. The controls are exactly the same with the Gamecube controler =P

Zoo Vet: I downloaded a trial off of the internet and it sucked. I could only play for an hour but I could see that the game would basicaly repeat itself. I didn't like how you couldn't play. I tried to use the scalpels on animals that didn't need surgery and I got taken to a screen with the lead vet lady saying: Stop! This is not the time to expirment!" Yes in the real world that is considered mal practice or abuse but this was a game. Big deal if someone takes the scalpel and carves little designs in the lion's leg.

Sea World Tycoon. I thought it would be like Zoo Tycoon 2.

Wild animal hospital (I admit I bought this just because there was a meerkat on the box and I wanted to see if meerkats were in the game). At least in Zoo vet you did the procudiers in first person perspective, in this one you basicaly just watch someone do them. Boring.

It's a good game but it's just another f***ing FPS game, its "RPG" elements are too minimal.

Oh, so it's not just another f***ing RPG after all?



Well I didn't expect a RPG at all but the hype was so overrated ,I even read a preview somewhere saying that it's the best game of all time and I read somewhere else that it's all genres in one game but when I bought ...wtf??? it's just a FPS game ! !...doesn't even match 1% of Deus Ex!

I myself never had hype for it, but I never really liked the Tetris franchise.........

Yeah, they had some pretty big shoes to fill after System Shock 2...I haven't played the full version yet, but the demo was terribly linear >_< I hear it opens up after that point, but I've yet to find out for myself.
