I cannot find one single review from a reputable source. Like IGN, Shacknews, etc..

If anyone has seen something please post a link here.

The only ones I have found are previews and seem like they were given a very limited version of the game. Namely walking around and using the map. They also seem to overlook major bugs that everyone has come across. So to me they seemed very biased or paid the writer to say something nice. One even said it was 'the finest moment of the franchise' or something like that. Ill see if I can find it but it was along time ago

Prolly a little early yet.

TBH, the only one I'm really interested in is Neals. :)

There are none yet. Ubisoft didnt want anyone to give a review of this game until after release.

Guess there relying on pre review sales....(dosent give me much hope for a good review).

The people reviewing the game didnt get a review copy until after the release, so its a little early for a full review. I'd expect one soon tho.

Eh Neal? (hint, hint):03:

Both not having a demo, or reviews were two big red flags to me. Then when I saw the hit point meters on the ships... lol...

Where are the good old times, full of decent demos and rich, tasty manuals to read at bedtime?

Nah, this is a intuitive game - for everybody! I guess thats why I just read a post on ubi's forum, from a player who tried it for 2h and still could'nt manouver the ship (he keept hitting the "1 degree turn"-button)

Sorry for my widespread ironi, but I would rather laugh than cry about SH:5 right now.

/Signed. As a kid I used to read every Microprose manual again and again so I knew about all the silhouettes/weapons of any ship/sub/aircraft. Most of the info didn't have anything to do with gameplay but it was fun to read. Oh, the days :O:
