I applaud Neal on doing a professional review of the game content and simulation level, but to not even mention that many people on his very own forum couldn't access the game for extended lenghts of time on multiple days and weekends - I don't know what he's hoping to gain from UBI by washing over these problems, but it's certainly neither professional, nor accurate nor objective. Besides, the hope (he mentiones in the article) that UBI will remove the CP later has been already clearly disproved by UBI Spokespeople saying the system will stay in all titles forever.
If the biggest negative of a game is the copy protection used, and he glosses over it, even tries to give some missinformed hope that it will go away then he hasn't done a full review of the game.
