I think people who hate it expected it to be an evolution of the PoP games from last gen. While I agree with them that the combat and platforming isn't as complicated or even almost anything like last gen's PoP's (which I'll also agree were better IMO), I do appreciate the work that Ubisoft has put into making it playable for everyone. It's not complex, it's not overly demanding, and it really allows people to feel like they're doing something really amazing albeit really not having to put in a ton of effort. It's much like what Fable and Fable 2 are to RPG's, what Halo Wars is to RTS's and what Guitar Hero/Rock Band is to playing real instruments. It's like an introduction to platformers and people must realize that this gen has opened up gaming to a whole new audience and these games are meant to help people new to more classical styles of games get their footing.

 

Super Mario Bros probably got more people into gaming than this gen did, and it had a FAR better platforming mechanic than this PoS game. At least it wasn't a series of cut-scenes when you were platforming.
