i agree with noname2200, sometimes i need to be forced into learning how to do something - there are parts of some games i've played that i'd have loved to skip, but i had to try them over and over again until i got the hang of it. then i was able to use the skills i learned at later points in the game.. and i feel proud of myself when i've done it
on the other hand tho, i could have done with this when i was playing OoT (damn that water temple, damn it to hell! lol)
a bit of a balanced opinion from me, so far i can see how this would benefit new/younger players. but i didn't become a level 4 Cloud Master at the age of 5 for nothin', you know. i played that game til my hands ached so i could compete with my dad. take away the challenge, and people become lazy. (again the same point noname made).
i also dont like how it says "without purchasing a strategy guide or resorting to websites that list cheat codes." Someone looking for a strategy guide doesnt need to purchase one, they're available online. And most of them don't have cheats per se, just the same info as an official strategy guide.
hmm.
