YES. That's why they are at the arcade and not at your house. Fun in sort bursts, and it backs up the fact that it's non-conducive to long term playing which is what I've been arguing, therefore it's a gimmick. Look at Tony Hawk's Shred for proof of that. It got horrible reviews, but it is near identical to a few skatboarding games that I've been at my local D&B and people love it there, since it is conducive to that atmosphere of short burst gratification (lol).

 

So stop chasing ghosts, this is not that difficult Ms. Sassy Pants.

@bold. And therefore you fail. Do you call it a gimmick when you go to the arcades.... I hope not.

hmm i'll have to agree with strategyking
