Your position would make sense if you could even begin to explain how those statements have anything at all to do with the controls, or (ON the subject of controls) how you KNOW that I hate them even though I have stated that they are fine... why is that so hard for you to accept? I don't get it... I had some complaints, but it wasn't much about that... and I'd know if I disliked the controls! The only 'issue' (ingame) I can think of is how the mouse is sometimes used as just a left/right axis, but that's understandable in the places it is so I can adapt...
But even then. How in the world does the game setup (difficulty, level design, etc) not matter? It's the SAME GAME! The PC version got perfectly good reviews! You just don't want to deal with any questions of this game or something... for instance Gamespot gave all four versions the same score. They will change scores when there's a serious issue (8.3, BTW. I'd score it a bit higher, but that's tolerable.).
Look, it's kind of hard to make any arguements when you won't read my post. This is the part I'd really like you to read.
Oh, as for money... no, I don't have enough. I still don't have the pearl scanner because I got the other one (animal scanner) and spent a bunch on healing items (the things they sell in the dungeons, not that much out of them)... very little left over and now I need a lot. Great... where is it supposed to come from...

Quote:As for BG&E... hmm. It's a very good game. Probably not quite the same 'constant fun' thing as Rayman, but it's supposed to be slower and more thoughtful so that isn't so bad. I like it. The game has fun action-adventuring and nice puzzles... sometimes challenging. The most interesting design decision is the death system. EXTREMELY generous. Maybe TOO generous. Oh, I like being respawned before the action I just did in the room I'm in (and with 4 health -- sometimes quite a gift!), but ... it reduces the difficulty level significantly...
Oh, and maybe I just need to get farther or do more stuff, but I wish they gave you more money. There are a lot of things I want to get... like more healing items AND those cool things...
Anyway, it's a very good game, but has some flaws, including simple combat, for instance, and how in the 'stealth' areas it's so simple -- run into next area/into convenient piping duct/etc and you're safe and they give up, and the story... the story's nice, but not quite as expansive and detailed/twisting as a game as this type could have used. Oh well, still fun, but it could have been better. But still, very good game.
