No, it's a sign that I was probably playing a game not suited to me. I don't particularly enjoy flight-sims (although they impress the hell out of me) but I'd not ever claim they weren't good games. > >I always thought it was a highly overrated game.

DE:HR upped the action quotient and made the plot simpler and more accessible, doubtlessly because many people agreed with me that the original was a bit dry for their taste. Those changes took away from the uniqueness of the franchise but on the other hand it sold better (and ensured a sequel) so I guess it balances out ;-)
