Twilight Princess has crate puzzles. Therefore, the game sucks!

Mejilan · Nov 17, 2006

I always preferred box puzzles, myself.

Amazing!!!!!

Now go play Mary Kate and Ashley's barely legal game

Well, the Wii had a good run.

You should avoid Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. They make Wolverine push crates! Arg!

Do they still reset when you leave a room?
Not that I minded that, it was quite reassuring to be able to reset them.

Soul Reaver had fun crate puzzles.

What the ****?
I'm glad game design elements from over twenty years ago are still getting play today.

Soul Reaver is the penultimate example of crate puzzles as the greatest evil in action adventure gameplay.

Seriously? What exactly was wrong with them.

I have no problems with crate puzzles provided the controls are decent enough to allow them to function well.

I like how in Elite Forces II on PC there was a hidden 'CRATE MONSTER' boss in one of the levels that was pretty much a total jab at the whole crate puzzle design abuse in gaming.

He was pretty tough to take down too.

ToxicAdam · Nov 17, 2006

I like when Zelda tricks you and makes you push Stone Statues instead.

OH, YOU GANON!!

Yay! Someone who understands why this is wrong! I feel like I've been talking to a variety of walls the past few weeks. MULA is full of archaic game design like this. Stuff that was fine in a traditional hack 'n slash, but has no place in one populated by Super Heroes. Wolverine does not need a key card to open a wooden door and he pushes crates for no one.

MMaRsu · Nov 17, 2006

We knew this since the second trailer just in case any crybabies come crying here. You see Link pushing teh crates around

GotchaForce · Nov 17, 2006

At least in GTA you get a forklift.
GTA>>>Zelda.

Tsubaki · Nov 17, 2006

The crate puzzles in Vagrant Story are part of the reason I really enjoyed the game.

Diablohead · Nov 17, 2006

Breaking crates and shooting exploding oil drums is why I play games today still!

ok I lie, but I still love the concept as long as it's not milked and overused.

cartman414 · Nov 17, 2006

I don't mind crate puzzles as long as they're not overused in a game or slow to move around.

jgkspsx · Nov 17, 2006

Alundra had the best "push stuff" puzzles ever. Gee, I should finish that one of these days. Goddamn roulette wheel.

Serious Sam had an entire level made of crates to make a jab at that. Part of the Old Man Murray Crate Review System.
