So I came across that a few minutes ago, and it got me wondering if this is really true. To sumarize, the developer thinks that they should have gotten better kudos for making the game due to it's "crative" nature.
Now to put my experience up front. I've been playing games since i was little. I don't consider myself an expert at them by any stretch of the imagination. I only recently go a PS3, and this was one of the first games I got for it (the other 2 being Resistance 2, and Valkyria Chronicles).
I haven't played all the way through this game yet, but from where it stands, it just doesn't come accross as that creative, or new. There aren't really any *new* aspects of the game that I haven't played with before. You still do the jumping around on platforms and flag poles. You still fight bad guys with your sword. Other than the princess helping you out in combat, there really isn't that much different from the other PoP games.
I'm honestly getting kind of bored. The combat is fun, but you don't really do that much of it, except for a 'boss' at each fertile ground healing point. The puzzles aren't really that puzzeling, and it's really hard to mess a lot of it up the first time through.
Yes I understand that the graphics are a different art style than most current generation games have, but does that really make it creative? Is there something i'm missing? I know it's not along game, but it's just getting so repetetive and not challenging at the same time; I don't know if i should even spend the effort to finish it. I don't mean this to be a review of any sort, but I'd like someone to point out whether or not i'm just not understanding or seeing things.
