Well other than Spam like some other threads today id like you to pay attention to one problem in SW
Why do people bash a game for not being revoulutionary? Halo is always bashed for copying other FPS and a "Consoles Man" FPS...but why does it need to be revoultionary to be good? Halo is a perfect game for a 2001 FPS console game...no other game that year came close to perfecting the FPS genre that year

Lets be honest here folks Simple games in the genre sometimes appear to be the best
Example1:Age of Empires 2-Did nothing to revoultuionize the RTS genre...but that didnt matter one bit..it is still critically acclaimed to be the best MicroManaging RTS of all time

Another Game I would like to point out is the GTA3 series...When GTA3 fist came out on 2001 everyone was amazed by its new gameplay and fun...while most of us agree on this thier is some trouble disscussing this with Vice City and San Andreas...So what if they didnt bring alot of new gameplay...the game did not need it to be good

That is my rant

No game is really revolutionary... they should be evolutionary... seeing as how stagnation leads to an industry crash.

God of War is another great example.  Not exactly revolutionary but excellent in pretty much every aspect.  There's always a way to do things better than before.

Well that sure didn't stop lemmings and cows from bashing Zelda: TP left and right. All you heard was the game deserved the score it got because it didn't bring anything new to the table.

I think a lot of it was getting back at sheep for their constant "wii is better because its innovative" bs.

Is that all you have to say? Yes what a lot of people said about Jeff was extremely wrong, but what people said about TP is no different than what you said about the games you mentioned in your original post.
