...at last the reviews have no complaints about bugs thus far; and they haven't argued abut the controls, either.

I've heard that the Japanese version was clean to begin with.... I doubt they had to fix anything out of the box. Remember, this isn't Gust we're talking about.

...I don't get why they're complaining about the character designs.

...except for Ratchet; I think she has a stupid haircut.

BTW, Nintendo Power's review was summed up here. It was a short review. Saw it in my local B&N, too. The "issues" aren't explained, although the context suggested the quirky, conversation-heavy game design.

10 hours in and halfway through the game? I remember reading that each chapter had at least 4-5 hours worth of gameplay in them...

Rushing is a very good possibility. I probably would have done the same on the second playthrough if I were him, unless I wanted to read everything again. If he did this his first time, that's his loss.

...I wouldn't blame anyone of rushing. This IS America, ater all.

Right..... XD

N64 has better graphics? Please... SWV is one of the best looking PS2 games I've played over the years.
