Its like you cannot really comment on a game or anything in life unless you have tried it oh and for more than a couple of minutes. There has been games that the reveiewers have given very negative reviews and when ive played them i have really liked them. In particular a game called Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2 on gamecube, many said it was terrible yet i still play it today.
