(Cthulhu)"What is this, the "glowing review" that's an answer to last weeks "shitty review"? Are we going to have review wars now?"

I smelled the same BS you smelled as I started reading this review. It's cute, really.

"This game blows. Waste of money. Published by Mongoose no less (surprise, surprise). Written by a monkey."

Written by a monkey only if you believe in evolution. And this atrocity could only have been made by man, don't attribute it to the lovable feces-throwers.

(spawn)"Last weeks "review" was full of errors and baseless complaints. It seemed far more like an attack than a review."

Actually, it seemed that the reviewer was pissed, and rightly so, because he believed that he wasted his money on a crummy book. You'd be mad too. And possibly tell others not to waste their money on the same garbage. A review is a review, whether it attacks a product or blindly defends it.

(Ratboy45)""Written by a monkey" is very unfair, I think. From what I've been able to tell, the fault for the problems/shortcomings of the book rest not so much on the writer, but on the editing, financing, and production end of things. Which, not coincidentally, is the source of most of the problems related to Mongoose.

Beyond that, though, I agree with you. This review seemed a little.... let's say, over the top."

I agree with ratboy. Good call. But it's still garbage, and I attribute this to all the people who made this book, not just the select few who produced it. The solution in such circumstances is to blame everybody, because you don't know who really f*cked it up.
