Kong Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 Just curious why we have not seen any on-line reviews of the game yet?!?! I love reading reviews, kinda curious to see how the press reacts to CM:BB, since it is a known quantity now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 I always was peeved that Ign.com never posted a review of the original CMBO. I emailed them a couple of times about it but they never published my complaint in their "Letters" section. Damn them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Panzer Boxb Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 Well, it could be that (true) wargames are still considered a niche market so the reviewers might not have gotten around to it yet. Also could be that BFC did not release it early to sites/mags like other publishers are likely to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kong Posted September 26, 2002 Author Share Posted September 26, 2002 bump... BFC, do you guys send out copies for review?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetchez la Vache Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 The only review of CMBO I ever saw in the UK was in PCGamer magazine. In fact I went and ordered it that evening. Although CM, TacOps, AA, etc appeal to a relatively small niche market, imo it is still worth while getting the games reviewed in 'mainstream' gaming magazines. Be they 'twitchy' or not. I will be sadly disappointed if I don't see a review of CMBB in the UK gaming magazines within 1-2 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tondu Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 I'd say one of three things is happening. 1. They're still waiting for the game to arrive because they didn't pre-order it. 2. They're having trouble installing it. (Maybe they're waiting for the fix to be put out.) 3. They're having too much fun playing CMBB to even write about it.

Moon Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 Reviews can be made only off the final production copy, so the press has to wait for their games as long as anybody else here. Then add the time to actually get familiar with the game and write up a review. Since we're not holding back finished product just to give the press a head start (well, we did send preview copies out, and there was a number of previews published, on- and offline), reviews will start appearing in the next few weeks I assume.
