That still doesn't really make sense for me. I tried a bit of the first half, it was alright but nothing special, so I traded it in. I don't see the point of slogging through the rubbish stuff just in case it gets better later on. A good game should have a good beginning as well as a good ending.

If you didn't enjoy any of the early levels you're clearly not a platformer fan and why are you playing Mario in the first place?

I really enjoyed Super Mario 64 and Galaxy though...

Same for other platformer games such as Crash, Spyro and Knack.

I guess it's just odd to me because as such a diehard platformer fan whose played so many over the years I can tell when the levels in these types of games are designed very well. And 3D World is just masterfully made levels all throughout.
