It was amusing watching Lets Plays of Mixtape because some people tried to push the boundries and were frustrated by how shallow and railroaded it is, while others barely touched the controller and it played itself most of the time. I saw someone get an achievement for avoiding all obstacles in the shopping cart sequence and they didnt touch the controller once during it. I dont actually have a problem with it essentially being a lightly-interactive movie, but the writing had better be fantastic if you're going to do that (and it wasn't).

I'll be honest, this game was extremely boring to me to the point where I didn't even finish it. Every little segment felt like a chore. I have no idea how it got so highly reviewed.

Because game journalist can't play games. A game that plays itself and does everything for them is the perfect game to them.
