i really like RC(roller coaster) tycoon for PC, but i did think that it could've been a little better. Well, that's what the other two versions are for i guess.
Althogh about the 2nd version, you don't really get to name the guests from what i've heard, i could be mistaken. It is very fun to make an amusement park, unless it goes downhill .

I feel that most pc games can be a little disappointing. Everyone who plays the sims almost always enjoys it. I personally found them to be very tedious. I prefer to play simpler games that just revolve around planning, puzzles, and quick reactions. I also think that most of the remakes that have come out in recent years have also been a little too easy. Granted I played these games at a younger age but I still don't find them nearly as challenging. Square Enix has done a great job porting most of their early final fantasy games over to the GBA, but they also tried to add more content and this new content makes things too easy. I beat FF5 without even truely killing the final boss, I completely skipped him.

Tales of the Tempest.
Rushed.
Unworthy installment to a series.
If this makes it to the US, it'll probably because it's in 3D, and only that. -.-

I personally think that Twilight suffered from dumbed down controls and bad graphics, and on this I'm referring to the wii version. On the gamecube version you could easily score this game a ten out of ten because you know they could not do any better. However the wii version could have had seriously improved graphics beyond just the implementation of a widescreen mode, also the controls were too basic, as the only hardcore first party game at launch why not make the controls precise and complex. Some obvious changes could have been swinging the wiimote around to swing the ball and chain while aiming with the analogue stick or Z targetting, or instead of firing an arrow with the B button have it mapping to holding the Z button, pulling back the nunchuck and releasing.

Phantasy Star Universe:
I was really looking foward to playing it, I even canceled my WoW subscription to play only to be very disapointed. I knew there would be a more tradional offline rpg mode, that wasn't what bothered me. It was just about everything else that bothered me:

The music is horrible, whoever the music director was needs to be tortured and hanged in such a manner that he dies of suffocation.

The maps have even LESS defined barriers than the old PSO did, for some reason I can't take 3 steps over a hill, insted I have to walk around, through a tunnel, and another room. For the love of god, just put rocks there or something so it makes sense, that's all I ask!

Had to BUY my force class. 1000 mestea off the start. money is way to scarce in lower levels.

Had to BUY all my force spells, I never was able to find any, like in PSO, or any force weapons either.

It makes me want to toss it out and just play my old PSO.

*disgusted with Sega*

I can agree on the PSU note. I didn't cancel anything for it, but I can definitely vouch that it was absolutely horrible, in my opinion. Basically what happened was this:

Hype
Pretty promotional videos
Teasers of great graphics
Absolutely no mention of the new game mechanics(Which all sucked, mind)
???
Launch
???
Failure.

The game was utterly boring(even for a hack-and-slash), and the graphic requirements were far too high for such a low benefit. Maxing out the settings was very hardly different from leaving them at rock bottom, and several people couldn't even play the game at rock bottom. Many of the maps were far too large to be without loading areas and thus caused pretty high amounts of stress, meaning major FPS lag for anyone without a top of the line computer/graphics card.

In addition to that, the whole "buy all of your spells and weapons" idea was terrible, since it made hunting pretty worthless. The clothes looked fairly cool, but almost none of them were out on launch, much like the rest of the game, actually. Hackers are already running rampant all over PSU, with no end in sight.

Story mode was an absolute joke. Far too easy, and the characters were all terribly thought up and poorly voice-acted. They were the sort of characters you'd expect to go "Haha, she said butt!". Add in to that the massive lag in almost every game area beyond chapter 6 and you've got one annoying experience. (Granted, I'm basing all of this off of my computer, which is by no means a terrible one, just not "lol I spent $800 on my graphics card and $2100 on the rest of it.")

The final note, however, is the one that irked me the most. As the above poster mentioned, it was extremely difficult to get money early on, and the "easiest" methods of getting small amounts of money required running the same mission over and over and over until you had enough to buy a weapon, and then you needed to farm more to get the skill for it. Add in to that the desire to switch weapons often, and craft weapons of differint elements, and you have an extremely annoying situation.

PSU was an absolute failure in every aspect other than looking pretty in the trailers.
