Another thought. I'm no Silicon Knights whore. But I think it's very sad that a game that's been kicked around since the PSOne days, clearly a labor of love, ends its tale on such an ignoble note. Yeah, I know it's only 1-Up, for now, but I think there's enough negative buzz and press and demo impressions that we can clearly say that the game isn't going to be amazing.
I've liked SK's previous games despite their (in some cases, many) flaws. I can only hope I'll similarly like this one, when all is said and done. In any event, I've already preordered it, so I suppose I'll be chiming in with my own impressions in the official thread, later this week.
