I have to say that I'm in total agreement with the previous comments, and really there's not much more I can add.
As far as I'm concerned, the reviewer has completely missed the mark. He simply does not understand what the game is about or how to go about playing it. Some of his comments are outright ridiculous and caste a false impression to those that haven't had the chance to experience it for themselves.
Mount&Blade's graphics may not be flashy, it may not have an enthralling storyline or a vast number of quests, but it doesn't need any of these things to succeed at what it does. This game is about combat, it's about war, it's about taking an army to the battlefield and wiping your foe from existence. This is what M&B is about, and rest assured, it does it very, very well.
So my advice to anyone not familiar with the game, try it for yourself, because this review is so far from the truth it doesn't even sound like the same game.
