One thing that wasn’t cute and cuddly was the interface. At any given time there can be upwards of eight menus on screens. Some of them are scrolling, some of them are flashing, and most of them are static. The problem is that when everything is kicking in, more than half of the screen is covered with menus. I’ll need to play the English version to see how disconcerting this is, because it’s entirely likely that the menu overkill was heightened by the fact that I couldn’t read what was going on and what I could select.
