It's almost like we disagree about this game. That's okay, I know that popular opinion is on my side ;)

One thing that makes Earnest Evans different from other Wolf Team games -- and most games in general -- is that they actually let the lead programmer direct the game. That remarkable decision guaranteed that Earnest Evans would stand apart from the crowd.

He would later go on to develop Ranger-X, but for some unknown reason, Gau did not let him direct that game.

Oh, cool, Ranger-X is great, even if the whole six-button thing takes getting used to. And don't worry about my contrarianism, I just figured it was time for a change of pace after all those 5/5 reviews I made, and I have my picky tastes, too, although I hope I made compelling cases in their own right. I'm surely not one to diminish anyone else's enjoyment of a work, though I think that my making a negative review can help lend context to my viewpoints; plus, it tells others if they should follow me or mail me live bees instead.

Incidentally, I think you might enjoy a sort of double-feature sometime in the near future: a review of a sweet game from a series I have you to thank for introducing me to, plus a non-game blog for its actually interesting anime adaptation. I've been reviewing film on Letterboxd, so I look forward to seeing how that will prepare me for that task, as I've not yet tackled a TV show review aside from my minor general impression/recommendation for the mysterious Serial Experiments Lain.
