That sounds more or less like the FI2 syndrome: A game that's so "open" 
that not only can you do anything, but that's even what you're 
/supposed/ to do. In other words, there's no goal. You just make one up 
and try to attain it. Which is incredibly unsatisfying. (Or maybe it's 
just that FI2 was a really bad game, I don't know...)
