hate that jumping puzzle area and it WAS very clichéd in many places. ;^)
It was short tho’ – if I remember correctly it only took a few minutes to
get to the other side.
I’ve definitely played games that presented me with something I felt was out
of place or simply too damn hard. It never disposes you well to the game.
For example I still can’t completely, 100% beat “Ratchet and Clank: Going
Commando” because I simply can’t beat those damn Ace Bunyan races….
Everything else is done, but I’m missing those three races! God I hate that
(although in this case the rest of the game was just so well done I can’t
stay mad at it).

Since there seems to be disagreement on the Baldur's Gate issue, I went and
looked up the person's exact coments. In response to a request for
nominations for all-time worst game:
Oh... wow. That changes from time to time. Right now, I'm seriously miffed
at Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance. It starts with the robbed and left naked
premise, which makes no sense when you're supposedly a butt-kicking warrior
type who can off tall Ogres with a single bash of your morningstar. It has
the requisite cellar in the Inn that hooks in to the
sewers that hooks in to everything else in the world (find a new idea,
please). The major insult, however, comes just as the dungeon crawl is
picking up a bit of interest: They bring in this arcade type
jump-fast-or-die level, with no means of by-passing the jumping thing. I
hate that. Seems like the designers at Bioware could do much better.
::shrug:: she teaches game design at the local community college, btw.
Again, I have never touched the game, so I am just quoting.
