The only thing they need to add is a Lord of the Rings spoof...
Anyway, I played the demo included with Jade Empire. Seems pretty funny. It took me from the beaches of Normandy to electrocuting some soldier... and Conker was reading a magazine with Halo 2 on it and something about how it was "2 million times as polygon!" or something. But yeah, it was pretty easy come to think of it. I can't relate it to the original, so I can't say if it's easiER, but it was easy. Um, that was AFTER the part where I'm running from guard post to guard post to avoid enemy fire (hard until you actually figure out what the hell you are supposed to be doing, GET ME OUTTA HERE!).
But anyway, removed content... never good... ever... Well, maybe if the content was something like a 30 minute blank screen with a HORRIBLE sound in the background the whole time, but that's about it, and I would only want them to cut it down to 10 seconds :D. IGN is reviewing an "almost done" version, but it hasn't gone gold yet, has it? Have they clicked "save" for the last time or are they still scrambling to get everything done in time for release? But there's more! This is an XBox Live game. This means 2 things. One, it's not a Rare game if it's not glitched, so they can fix all the glitches we'll be finding now. Two, they can add content, to single player even, so there's that. WILL they? That is, they do need to design the game with the right "hooks" to be upgraded in single player. But anyway, there's still the chance they just aren't done with it yet (slim though right now, I mean, they played the entire thing through front to back in the last preview). But anyway, I'll check out the final review when it's golden. Here's hoping the dropped content is added back in and there's some sort of difficulty selection at the start of the game. I want my thumbs to BLEED when I play a Rare game!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
