The Steven Spielberg game that made most folks go, "Really?" I expected something glamorous and intricate from Mr. Spielberg, not this. However, it is designed to be a family game, which is important to me, so I checked it out. I played the the first level and said, "this is dumb." It has less than Gamecube-quality graphics, annoying music and uninteresting characters. Then I played the second level and declared it equally dumb. I played and played for about three hours, all the while declaring how dumb I found it. It wasn't until I was ready to go to bed that I realized that I had been unable to stop playing a supposedly "dumb" game. I didn't know until it was over that I like this game. I'm going straight home from work to play my dumb game. How about the rest of you?

I enjoy puzzles, so it's been interesting to try out.

Gets infuriating at times, but not to the point of throwing the wiimote out the window.

...yet.

This is kind of off subject, i know, and pelase dont reprimand me for saying it, but what unseen force persuades people to abuse their controllers? i get amazing hacked off at some games of mine, but manage not to try to give the wall a bruise with my Xbox Controller. I was in a chat with a good friend, and she said her dogs were going crazy, so i was like ok...so anyway, she came back and told me what it was, a box had arrived with new screws and tools for the controller, as it was going a bit dodgy and i was like "I play on this more than you and i dont manage to break mine howd you do it?" and she replied "I dont like the wall" i gotm this, and asked why she chucke dit at the wall "One word - Halo" "Ah" so...i still dont get that makes people lob controllers @ the wall then complain 2 the company for their remotes breaking things.

Those people must have greater than average disposable income. They must also lead comparatively care-free lives if the thing that makes them that angry is a game. There are some games I love, but when it comes down to it, they are just stupid games and could never have the power to force me to destroy my own hard-earned property.

I think my word choices may be unfairly critical of people I haven't even met. What I said above is my suggestion as a possibility. I'd like to subtract a bit of the harshness of tone that was not intended, and apologize if there are any hard feelings.
