Metroid Prime 2 gets reviewed tonight at IGN

[Professor S]

I did try and follow the story from the scans in the original, but whether it was my ADD or that FF7 ruined me for non-cutscene driven storylines, the scans just didn't do it for me.

I think for me I have to identify with one or more of the characters to enjoy a game. Its sort of like my love of film and gaming have combined to screw up what I like in games. I remember spending hours playing Donkey Kong, Metroid and other gameplay driven games back when thats all there was. Now that intricate stories have become so commonplace, I don't fell entertained by a game unless it has one. Honestly, thats my loss.
