Hey Alex: How's your investment in Activision doing? Hard to watch THQ make all that money, isn't it? Took a look at the newsgroups: It's not as bad as you say. Here's a guy who said it took only 12 hours: ___________________ I've just beaten the damn thing ( I would say 11-12 hours of gameplay) and I'm going top say that a whole lot of people aren't gonna like it. Having said that I had a great time. I enjoyed the simplicity for a change and it was a nice little diversion from the usual stuff. It does however not show off at all the fact that it was put together for the N64. If you really want a good story and more in depth play, wait for Zelda, I've played it at E3 and it's very much going in the right direction. _________________ Not a great review, certainly, but he had a great time. And as we saw with the megahit WCW, expert gamer opinions need not be important at all. << Don't under estimate the power of Usenet and the Internet, there are over 50 million plus people who read Usenet. If they read terms that we're mentioned above in a game their child wants,or anybody who has any interest in the game,you can bet it's big factor in either renting or buying the game >> Can you give me a reference for the 50 million? Are there even 50 million PC users in the U.S.? Almost everyone I know who owns a computer is unfamiliar with Usenet, or doesn't use it. The idea that parents (of all people) are poring over Usenet reviews from young males with overactive gonads is kind of funny. Keep up the good work. Wade
