the gittery combat animations, audio bugs and bad music in general, the repetitive level designs, irregular save points have all led me to incredible frustrations. not that any part of the game is hard or anything. it's just one crappy game design on top of another that seems to lead to frustrating exercise in trial and error, back tracking, and repetitive combat action. shouldn't these types of game designs be banned already. trial and error is an outdated way of playing games. there's a better way to play video games and this isn't it. back tracking!? WTF? somebody didn't want to create new level designs with more diverse gameplay. considering a PoP game has be shat out every year or so. my expectations were high and they were deservedly so considering Sands of Time. i haven't played Two Thrones yet but i have seen it being played and it doesn't seem any better. ninja gaiden and god of war. two games that are cut above any PoP game with solid action and diverse set of combat moves. no more craptacular games. please.
