Rostik Posted December 14, 2002 Share Posted December 14, 2002 I was really disappointed when I've seen that CMBB scored not so high position as I expected in my favourite magazine(uk). But they have got the point. You can check it by yourself PCZone rewiev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Dorosh Posted December 14, 2002 Share Posted December 14, 2002 Too bad the reviewer didn't play CMBO, he might have understood where the improvements lie - MGs, etc. As for a 40 minute install, the guy sounds like an utter twit. Took me about 10 minutes - wonder what kind of crappy-ass low end system he's using. Wasn't a MAC was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(bad compact diskages) As for the rest of the review, I can understand his point of view. I don't agree with it, but I can understand it. Hmm, second glance "X Interface still rather clumsy" ...can't even understand that part. Are you guys really made because he didn't like the shockwaves from CMBO?

Captain Wacky Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 That review was more pictures than words. What is it supposed to be, some sort of electronic pop up book for 3 year old gamers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illo Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 Interface could be better. As few examples... Mouse wheel to adjust camera elevation. Unautoresetting camera angles would be ok too. Pictures tell quite much of game. So I don't wonder why they were used. [ December 14, 2002, 06:56 PM: Message edited by: illo ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimguy Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 I agree about the mousewheel. No sense in not making use of it. Also, more and more people (in both the pc and mac worlds) have mice with multiple buttons. It would be nice to be able to make use of them. Otherwise, I finally got my copy of CMBB and am loving every minute of it. Improvements are in all the right places, and the AI Germans are presenting a real challenge.

Hertston Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 I find it hard to take any magazine that scored Steel Beasts at 23% remotely seriously.. I doubt they have anyone on staff who has a clue about wargames, or indeed serious simulation software. It's a kiddie rag, with reviewers catering to a kiddie audience. Get PC Gamer instead.

StellarRat Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 It was pretty obvious to me that the reviewer hadn't really played either CMBB or CMBO for more than a few minutes and probably didn't know much about WW II in general, therefore his review is worthless (IMO).
