Offhand, my biggest complaints for this are:
EASY: he put psu as easy, when YES you get the achieves just for going through the story, but NO it's not easy to play- or easy to KEEP playing hahaha.
DIFFICULT: he put 2 worlds in difficult and said it's the worst game ever. Now #1, that's his personal opinion, and has nothing to do with the achievements. #2, the achieves aren't particularly challenging. #3, he put Oblivion in Easy and you're looking at... idk half the time put into completing two worlds...
