Love how its fans are insisting that anyone who hates it hates it because they don't like the genre, or they don't like family games, or they're just biased for some reason or another, and can't appreciate the wonder that is Knack.

It's just not a good game. For any gamer over 8 years old, it's far too simplistic, and for most people under that age, it's too complicated. Generic beat em up sections and platforming that would have been dated if the game came back in 2000. The platforming not only doesn't reach the standards Mario Galaxy set in 2007, it doesn't reach the standards that Sly Cooper set in 2002, or even the standards that Crash 3 set in 1998.

Granted I only got about 3 chapters into it, but the game fails to excel in any area. At best, the game is average in certain regards, and it fails to reach that mark in most. Maybe the sequel will be better. There are a few franchises that had sucky first entries. But, based on the first game, people are perfectly justified in being completely unexcited.

Always nice to see people stating their opinion as fact and thinking they can speak for others.
