were you playing with 2 people on baldurs gate? without another person i could see how that game could get boring, it was great with 2 though. the old school one on the cpu was an rpg so yeah they took taht premise, i thought it was ultimately more of an action game though.
did you have that shit on easy because going through a hundread of anything in that game is like a 2 hour job. i havent gotten to the bugs yet but thats what those ninjas took me, and i died a shitload of times.
