I'm so tired of this. Worlds in Critical Mode are still thirty minutes, tops. Without being too careless I can still mash on X most of the time, and I can exploit commands and shotlock on bosses. Critical Mode is not hard.
BbS is a good game, but nowhere near as good as some of you make it out to be. My biggest tiff with it is the oh so wonderfully bland world design. You can tell there was some effort to bring some platforming back to the series, but man am I tired of walking into large, empty rooms where all I do in them is fight enemies and open treasure chests. They're everywhere. Personally, they're chiefly why at this point I find myself having to force myself to continue, something I shouldn't have to be doing.
KH1 was great because it had charm, something I can honestly say the other games lack. It's almost as if "nostalgia" is the go-to buzzword used to defend BbS' shortcomings.
