So far I'm about a half an hour into the game and I'm not digging it as much as I expected. From what I've played so far it's just not a very "great" game. Maybe an average game at best. I'm hoping that my frustrations with it go away with time. I completed the first task in the game and changed my little world a bit.

I'm kinda miffed at myself too, I've been so looking forward to playing this game for such a long time and I feel so let down. Does the game get better? What am I missing here?

 Well, without knowingwhat is frustrating you, I will assume its the drawing.  That gets much easier with practice, and eventually you'll be able to draw everything easily.  Well, maybe not everything, as I am only 25 hours in, but up till now I've gotten pretty good at all of them.  Bloom took me a long time to master, as sometimes it would register as a 'sun' drawing (that got REALLY annoying in the mr. orange minigame), but now that I have it's awesome. 

 I will say that the game gets much better the more strokes you know.  Combat gets more in-depth, with multiple ways to fight enemies, and overall it just gets to be more fun.

 That said, all this is obviously my opinion and Your Mileage May Vary, etc.
