For me B&W was a huge disappointment, the control system was clumsy
and the people asking for your help were so irritating that one was
continuously being pushed towards being evil, having played it for a
few hours I couldn't care less about the people. It seems that a lot
of people I've spoken to have a similar point of view with respect to
the game, which I find interesting baring in mind the level of hype
that surrounded it. Is it a case of the Molyneux effect or do people
really enjoy playing it as opposed to thinking 'hmm very pretty and
very clever'?
