So... we both were enticed in the game's direction by game magazines, and we both were ultimately underwhelmed when we played the game years after the fact. This is as close as we will ever come to being blood brothers!

"What if everything you see is more than what you see--the person next to you is a warrior and the space that appears empty is a secret door to another world? What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world

Probably Nintendo Power, too, right? Because they made it look like a million bucks. I noticed when checking to see if this one had a staff review, that you did one and, rating-wise, had a similar experience.

But, yeah, to say I was disappointed would be a bit of an understatement. I was expecting a really good game and got something that was more along the lines of "it was a game...I played it".

Same. I developed the urge to play this one after reading about it in a magazine as well, and man was I disappointed. I don't remember if it was Nintendo Power or not. I came very close to getting this one a couple of times, but ended up with something else instead. I didn't actually get around to playing it until I was in college.
