That made Dragon Age Origin trivial with a wizard in your party.

Even if you couldn't shatter it, simply freezing the strongest enemy in a group was enough to simplify the battle a lot.

The Ghostbusters game let your AI teammates revive you. They were good at it most of the time. Problem is, sometimes they would drop what they were fighting to save you, get hit in the back, die, then you have to wait for the nearest one to do the same, over and over until the whole team was down. Sometimes its just better to restart instead of waiting it out.
