Salkin Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 http://www.gamezone.com/gzreviews/r21853.htm Hmm...he's not extatic about the game but he likes it . The "average" graphics was the major downer for him as I see it. //Salkin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 Just in time for Christmas (not)! Sounds to me like this guy doesn't know history from a hole in the ground. The game could've been set on Mars for all he knew of the context. Still, it appears we've got a 'shooter game' guy mildly interested in tactical simulation. That's no mean feat. 'Shooter' gameplayers aren't exactly into thinking for recreation . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dugfromthearth Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 he also seems to think that the missions are listed in order as opposed to just alphabetical. and he never mentions the scenario creation or quick battles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urban Shocker Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 He didn't even mention it was a WWII game. Makes me wonder if he knew?! :confused: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Carr Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 Actually for someone who seems to be an FPS fan, he did give it an overall "fun" write-up. Not bad considering that he would probably rather play some Duke Nuke'Em type game. I would think that the ratings he gave the various aspects of the game are heavily influenced by his knowledge and enthusiasm for the subject material. He did say that this was the game he was going to get for his father so they could play via e-mail. I didn't see too much negative in this review. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMplayer Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 Shouldn't reviewers have to be able to demonstrate that they're capable of writing before publishing a review? The fellow says, "I really don't feel like getting pummeled by a 12 year old military prodigy," yet I get the feeling he's not much older himself: 15-16 max. At one point he trips himself up with: Relying heavily on an almost chess-like mentality, I found that this game was not to be taken lightly as it is quite difficult and not at all short. Learning to effectively negotiate your soldiers and vehicles while launching salvos is not something that can be quickly mastered. Egad! Where's Mr. Picky when you need him? Sorry, but that's not a review; it's a glorified forum posting. Don't get me wrong. I like the kid and I like what he has to say. It's just that the piece isn't even edited well enough to turn in as a 9th grade book review. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dugfromthearth Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 of course he might be just the type of person who reads that site. a wargamer writing a review for a FPS-gamer site wouldn't be doing much good for that audience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
