A change of heart

 I know that everyone says not to judge games based on their demo.... but I just played the Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts demo and....  I can't say I don't like it.... but I am canceling my pre-order.    Even at it's lower price than most other games I think I'd much rather spend my money on something else.  I think that it would be a fun game to play down the road, but right now.. with so many other great games coming out, I need something that wows me.  

 

The graphics were great and the controls were responsive and the levels were colorful and beautiful....  it's just... ummm I don't know.  I guess I am too used to adult games?  I am used to stories?   I have no idea what is wrong with it, but I thought that I could go back to it, but I can't right now.  I'm sure I'll rent it or buy it down the road, but I need something more.  Just something is missing that I've grown used to in the games I play.  It's not violence.  I think it's the emotional shallowness of the game?  The depth of emotion in this game feels really old and underdeveloped...  it oozes nintendo.. which I am sorry to say I don't like.
