- Did you try it with either of the other 2 modes? The reason I ask is
- that Castle of Illusion has a shorter game in the easy (beginner, I
- think) mode that is easy to beat -- I beat it the day I rented it. I
- then started the real mode, which was longer and harder (I had to
- return it before I was able to beat it.)
-
- In general, however, I don't mind purchasing a game I have rented and
- enjoyed playing. But then, I haven't played any games for more than a
- few hours a week for years (with the exception of the Zelda marathons
- and my recent Golden Axe evening ritual), so it is unlikely that I can
- finish a game on a 2 or 3 day rental.
