Magna Carta (The term shall be coined)

Whether or not you heard of the game, on ps2 there was a JRPG that came out called Magna Carta Tears of blood. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reith_(Magna_Carta). This game both I and a friend played, though it had horrible reviews, the reviews for once were sound. The game was beautiful graphic wise, great storyline, it was appealing in every aspect, except one---It's combat system. A system of button presses that at first seemed innovated and fun, but as it went on and got more complex by which even your random encounter wins and losses staked on the painstaking, frustrating combat by which you can only control 1 of the three at anytime party members at a time, the timed button presses literally sapped all the other enjoyable aspects of the game, thus we coined the term "Magna Cartaed". Basically for a game to be "Magna Cartaed" it must fall within the criteria of being awesome in every way except one, and that one thing breaks the entire game from ever being enjoyable to play. So with this first official posts, makes some replies and list and discuss some of the games you played, or seen that were "Magna Cartaed".
