So, what you're saying is that this is not the average Ace Team game, except that it totally is? ;-)

"Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." - John F. Kennedy on reality

"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 world2

"Here's the thing, though: I don't think I can tell you one factor that strikes me as a major conversation piece. Yeah, the art style is cool and all, and its presentation are fine, but nothing really wowed me. You don't catch any jaw-dropping images or see anything that strikes you as mind-blowing or awesome. Instead, everything just comes across as rote. You advance through its campaign and see a lot of the same stuff you would in almost any other title: an icy area, a fiery realm, a jungle (somehow underground), and long stretches of basic cave-like real estate."

I really liked this part. Summed up what I was trying to say with Sackboy, but probably a bit better. That game that's perfectly good, but is hurt somewhat by having so much of that "been here, done that" thing in it.
