Video games today are all easy in comparison with all the platformers of the past. Anyone remember Batman on the NES by Sunsoft? Talk about hard! Contra? Lifeforce? Vanguard on the Atari? All very difficult. But I have played the emulated versions of these games and beat them in less than an hour. That's why there were so hard. There wasn't anything to them. Todays games put obsticals in your way but not anything realy that difficult to overcome. Halflife 2 was very easy but pretty long. You just keep progressing the game, and it tells you a story. It's still alot of fun, and I actually prefer it this way. No use beating your head into a wall for 50 hours if the story, and gameplay suck.
