I'm sure I could come up with many great games that get by without any fleshed out storyline. I'm sure I could start listing some of the most popular franchises (sales wise) that are not story driven: Mario The Sims Guitar Hero Need for Speed Madden Tetris FIFA Actually just look at this Wikipedia link, at least half of the most popular franchises are not story driven games: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_video_game_franchises |
One of (there are many) the things I hate about Mario Sunshine was the sudden inclusion of more storyline. Mario's going to jail for eco-terrorism? Peach is Bowser Jr's mother? There's a Bowser Jr? The hell was all that about? And the ending, with Bowser talking to his son, the fuck?
Guitar Hero III actually had crappy short cartoons in between sets of songs in the single player to try and create a story. I think those were kicked to curb in World Tour.
