Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. It was a fun and moderately challenging game...up to a point. Then it became near impossible to progress. Too bad.Markies wrote:Re-Volt (Dreamcast)
This game is quite Brutal! It took me at least 10 times to beat the very first race in the game. Then I got continually screwed later on in the cup. Since you are racing RC cars, the handling is so finicky. You'll hit the smallest thing and then you'll go careening off the track in a complete 180. Since there is no rubber band for you or the other cars, you have almost instantly lost the race. I like the idea, but it is too precise and impossible for its own good. I think a game like Micro Machines did it way better. It's interesting and I can see why people enjoy it in short bursts, but the actual process of sitting down and playing it for long periods of time is painful. No thanks.
On the Genesis, anything with Bart Simpson in it was a PITA. (Krusty's Super Fun House doesn't count since Bart was just in the background and in the end was a fun and challenging game - one I did actually finish.) The Acclaim Simpsons' games always had horrible controls, mediocre graphics and ridiculous difficulty levels almost from the start.
There are plenty of games I've never finished (many I've never really even started for that matter) and mostly it boils down to difficulty level. And my age I guess, I have a much lower tolerance than I used to for trying a level over and over and over and over...
One I REALLY wanted to play through, and tried repeatedly, was Haunting Ground on PS2. Interesting story, interesting companion, decent graphics, great environment but for all that is holy, give the girl some sort of actually useful weapon! Her best "weapon" is running away and hiding. That becomes almost impossible to do effectively, at least for me. I solved puzzles, I figured out some of the background on the characters but I guess I wasn't a very good hider. I couldn't even make progress after a while with the help of a fairly detailed strategy guide. Hmph.
At first they're ok but they ramp up in difficulty pretty quickly. It's too bad since the game seems pretty neat but I can't really play it if I have to look up the solution to every puzzle.
