God damnit, this has to be the most shitty and overrated game in the universe. I had heard a lot of good things about this game and how great it was, but never got around to playing it. So I'm sitting here today with nothing to do, and I think "Hey, why don't I go check out Secret of Mana?" So I do. I go to coolrom.com and download it, then fire up ZSNES. I name my little guy Trance and start to play, ignoring how ugly and poorly animated the characters are, and then I get the sword. I try to fight a rabbite, and I discover that the combat system is weird and disorienting. Buuuuuuut since everyone keeps saying how great this game is, and how it's a SNES classic, I press on and try to get used to the gameplay. Then I get to the first boss and he kills me about 30 times with a homing attack that I can't avoid or stop, which he throws every 3 seconds, before I finally beat the buggy fucker into the dust. I think to myself, "Mabye I just need more practice. Yeah, that's it. I just started playing 3 minutes ago, so it's only natural for me to suck at this." Then I get to the second boss fight, and the same thing happens. I don't even have time to swing my sword at them before I die. I keep trying at it and build myself up to an absurdly high level (20), until, after 30 minutes and easily over 50 deaths, I realize the game just fucking sucks.
I demand an explanation of why everyone says Secret of Mana is good, because it really isn't. At all.
