Critical and Fan Reception
For a variety of reasons, the game was poorly reviewed by virtually everyone, and is usually cited as the lowest point in the series' history. The most common complaints are:
- The new lifebar system interrupts the flow of fights.
- Gameplay has too much of a "stuttering" feel to it.
- Lack of classic, favorite characters.

Famous quotes containing the words critical, fan and/or reception:
“To take pride in a library kills it. Then, its motive power shifts over to the critical if admiring visitor, and apologies are necessary and acceptable and the fat is in the fire.”
—Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)
“Already nature is serving all those uses which science slowly derives on a much higher and grander scale to him that will be served by her. When the sunshine falls on the path of the poet, he enjoys all those pure benefits and pleasures which the arts slowly and partially realize from age to age. The winds which fan his cheek waft him the sum of that profit and happiness which their lagging inventions supply.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
