...you know, I really see now why Neal sets a minimum playing time with a game before starting to write a review for it

A novel concept lost on most, unfortunately.

One of the poorest written reviews. Can't all be perfect. Someone had to do it.

Well, there's one or two mistakes in that review and the reviewer has clearly not spent long enough testing it to learn many nuances and options for SH4, but generally speaking, I think the review makes some fair points.

As I read through, those were my thoughts, until right at the very end, when the reviewer praised the intro movie for SH4. Totally disagree with that, I think the intro is one of the most misguided intros ever put in a sim, which is one of the reasons why I made a new one for it.

One has to wonder - he thought the intro was good? Allow me to put forth a bit of advice - step 1 - put down the crack pipe and step away from your computer.....

I will agree the interface has taken a step back - and yes bugs are rampant. I do agree its a roughly 80% - it will be 98 when the bugs are gone. But he liked the intro???? sheesh - the intro is where sh4 looses points with me!

Overall - a decent review - accurate in places - but it seems by sheer luck.

Good Hunting
