i feel ya, brother! i know exactly what your talking about. i played AO when it came out at the age of 7, and the game gave me shivers untill i became a teenager. by then, id beaten it too many times for it to really give me that feeling anymore..
i dont think AE was too easy though.. in all honesty, i think its harder. the secrets definitly can be, anyway. some of them are just plain brutal in ways that AO couldnt quite match.. though AO had some painfully challenging parts as well..
once youve beaten the games enough times, theyr both ridiculously easy, really.. after a while, you learn the behaviour patterns of all the enemies in the game, and remember what to do in every area perfectly the first time. even though ive done all that, i still cant seem to beat either game without dieing though.. once i get my ps2 back, ill have to try that again xD
