God of War.

Great action game but too short.

That is my biggest problem with action games today. They put so much into graphics that the story gets chopped up. Take RE for example. In the remake we were told that gameplay elments that were in the original idea were put back in because they now had the space for them. I am happy with games like RE and Silent Hill because they hit that bare limit of gameplay time. When you discover that you can beat the game in 2 and half hours it makes you sad to a point. But then there are games that are so short you get so pissed off at. (Dragon Ball Z Sagas) or the flip side so damn repeative that you get sick. Such as Halo. I miss the days of the 2-d side scroller. Castlevania:SOTN had the best mix of length, Story, and Gameplay. Oh I love the fact that they just didn't put the same bosses in the upside down castle. That really showed how much thought went into the game. When everyone was praising games in 3-d like Tomb Raider and Gex, here was a 2-d game that showed 2-d still kicks ass.
