I haven't personally played it, but people I respect have been saying that the Left 4 Dead series is actually doing a good job of this. (also, as a general rule I have an extreme distrust of "nobody I know of has managed this yet, therefore no-one anywhere ever will")

And I have a pretty extreme distrust of "Yeah, I know thousands of smart people have tried and failed, but I'm still sure it's a great idea!" See also: General purpose visual programming, 3D desktop or chat interfaces (and I mean true 3D, not "using 3D hardware for nice effects), "I'll just wrap a natural language interface around this and it'll be easy to use!". Certainly both of our rules fire off, but for every time your rule hits, mine hits several thousand times.
