Yet another solid Kemco review. I don't really think placing your main gripe at the start of the article worked, though. It may have been more effective placed at the end, after we know what the game is about (for those of us who may not be religiously following your Kemco Khallenge).

placid like acid

Thank ye for the comments. I somewhat agree with your point, but my reasoning for ordering things like I did was because, at least in my mind, it was important to put the "normal is way easy!" bit first because if anyone would want to play this game, that might be the most important aspect of the review.

It's a decent game, but the default difficulty really sucks the fun out of it just because of how easy it is, so I look at opening it that way as my way of both saying to not play it on normal and as a disclaimer saying that if you'd play it on hard, you might/probably will have a better time with it than I did. It's not something I do often (off the top of my head, I seem to vaguely remember opening my ancient Champions of Norrath review talking about how there were a lot of message boards complaints about the game being glitchy, buggy and even capable of breaking PS2s, but I hadn't personally endured much, if any, issues), but it just felt right while I was writing to open with that. But I can see how it might be jarring to someone else to read it in that way.
