That said, I absolutely agree that if this were the first review of a product it would suck as a review. I wanted to expand on how it plays rather than repeating info that's already out there.

I'm sure that there is at least one person out there who has come to RPG.net for the first time in between the previous C&C reviews and yours.

I'm sure that there is at least one person out there who doesn't want to search for "Castles & Crusades" in the review archive to find relevant information about the game. They would rather see that you had supported all your thoughts and even, yes, reitorated facts from the other reviews in order to make your review whole.

As it is, it could have easily been a forum post or even the start of a thread in one of the previous reviews. As Seanchai stated.

If you're going to review a game, it is a good idea to review the game as if you are the only person in the world reviewing it. Either that or review it in a different way from everyone else. Trust me, the first one's easier.

Just my opinion, take it for what it's worth.
