    I disagree with the 'Sands of Time' was the best sentiment, however even after some really fun (and in some parts very challenging and innovative) elements in the sequels, I think the general gamer would agree with you.
    
    They never mixed all of the elements together as well as they did with SoT, but for core gameplay (just the platforming and combat) SoT is (IMO) too pedestrian now. Fun but way too easy.
    
    I looooooove SoT but if I want that kind of gameplay I usually reach for one of the sequels.
    
    I am sad but also glad they're giving it a rest to hopefully come back with a game that grabs everyone (like Ass Creed 2 did) in 3-5 years.
