For the record, Metroid Prime 2 wasn't difficult, it just got a bit confusing at times. Hehe, If you look at the 50 best games of all time feature N-Europe had, there was a quote from me saying that it was better than the original in several ways; I hold by that statement, because it was darker, more atmospheric, had better music, and was more difficult.
Agree with the Soul Calibur thing; one of the best casual fighters of all time.
