They are not going to dedicate 5,6, or 7 pages detailing every aspect of Silent Hunter V.

While the review posted by indy is a very poor cut and paste job of what is posted at historynet.com http://www.historynet.com/command-a-...t-hunter-5.htm It is still a very brief review.

You can tell the author is not a gamer with this quote "he game also gobbles up a great deal of disk space..." Most current games nowadays do, we are not back in the 1990's. Heck, my first computer didn't even have a hard drive.

While the author may be clueless about the current state of technology, the review at historynet is a fair one and pretty much sums up my feelings about the game. Although, I am less concerned about the DRM then the overall poor quality of the game.
Actually , now I've had time to read the whole review I pretty much agree.

The author isn't a gamer and we should also remember that not everybody has access to Subsim (well they do, but not everybody knows about Subsim)

So all in all seems fair.
