      I can believe that, movies are James' passion, particularly classic horror films, so for him to protest destroying the oldest surviving movie set, which also happens to be a classic horror film, no real surprise for him.

      The only bright side to all this is that they at least kept the Paris Opera House set, which of course was inside the soundstage before it was demolished.

    Not only did Universal demolish their oldest set of all, The Phantom of the Opera, to make way for a Harry Potter ride in Universal Hollywood, they also recently demolished the famous long-running Jaws ride in Universal Florida to make way for another Harry Potter ride, even though there already was one in Islands of Adventures! What were they thinking?! Well at least they still have E.T. Adventure.

    • @aaronthebox
      @aaronthebox 9 років тому +66

      Actually they didn't destroy the Phantom set for Harry Potter, they demolished an Amphitheater that housed concerts, I'm not sure why they destroyed a 100 year old soundstage, but it wasn't for a ride

    I was hoping that you'd give this game its own episode after the James & Mike sessions showed off how much you both hated it.
    ...and I wasn't disappointed.
    A "janitor sim" is the best genre definition here. I look at going on the rides as a diversion from the intense day of trash removal at Universal. I mean, sure, I know there are supposed to be labor laws, but maybe letting the kid on the rides is a way to keep him from telling the authorities. Or something.

    Fixed camera positions are commonplace in the survival-horror genre, and it works just fine in many other PS1 games.

      Yeah, but mostly, your character is pretty close to the camera and you are not far away in a big crowd. So yeah, in those horror games, it works fine, because it is done right.
