Not on PC so I got champions online, which if you have a pad plugged in plays similarly to Marvel UA series.

PC folks, report to Champions! FORSOOTH!

And there's nothing listening to TDar Podcast and playing Champions Online, thats FUN & FuNNY

Hey that was a nice review. I am obsessed with the game at the moment and am also a lifetime sub'er (if that makes my opinion any more valid?) He's right on many points and that yes the game needs more content, but for your first few months of playing you WILL have a blast, just make sure to do what I do, and play the damn game WITH AN XBOX 360 controller, otherwise its just not the same action.

Peace!

Lovely game, more like starting a new hobby though since this is as involving as any GamesWorkshop game.

I'd give it an 8 at least, 7's good too.

Just play the demo. Reviews from any website only mean something if you and the reviewer (not the website) have a shared opinion on most games.

I find journalists in line with my taste and generally look for their reviews, not necessarily all of IGN or all of GR.

Also I would like to add, that the game is quite simple to learn, you might need to read a few things in the in-game guide(takes 3 minutes at that).

I can sympathize with the reviewer at the games initial complexity, and I too am a bit sheepish when it comes to exceedingly complex building games, but in all honesty folks,

Anno 1701(the prequel) is about the simplest most in depth city building game I've ever played.

I say that knowing that I've had my attention span affected in this day and age of fast action games.

Sometimes slow thrills relax you after a hard days study/work/workout.

A bit thin for a review of a complicated game. I'd say you owe this long running series more words, but oh well.

He feels its a 6, then its a 6 to him.

Personally I love Anno 1701, and I plan on getting 1404 no matter what the reviews are.

If anyone wants a better take on it, use google translate on some german reviews, they provide an in depth educated look at this game.

I would give 1701 a 9.0, and I bet I'd give this one at least an 8.0, but then again city building is my thing!

use google translate, the review is great

So get ready cause you'll probably have the inFagous club come and storm your gates GR, haha!

This camera is amazing technology.
Its from an Israeli company called 3DV which MS bought.

3DV's camera was on demo a year ago and is built from Israeli Military motion sensing cameras.

I am not joking, this is why the tech works its consumer version of Military tech.

Thusly Gamesradar has every right to be impressed, you a-hole fanboys of Nintendo need to calm down a little bit.

We don't put up with fanboys in this community.

"We found most of them, but sadly they didn’t unlock a mode that made the game enjoyable"

You simply must mention this during TalkRadar 53.

The damn quote stings like a comedic bee

Mikel RapperRaz is a genius, he should not given a ? mark as the score, oh that would certainly turn head.

Make you sooooo creditable.

:D

Capcom would do well to learn from this if they are considering doing another Megaman game in 3D.

I have not experienced exhilaration in a 3rd person action game like this in a long time.

Anyhow, if you have 5 dollars to throw around then please by all means take an hour of your time and beat this fun little game with some Prodigy turned up!

Wallahi al Sheik cok mukkemel! HAHA

Graphics work well, and they ensure a +30 FPS no matter what is happening, which is more important to me than some HDR effects.

All in all a great game to supplement your DoW 2 needs.

The publisher of this game is idiotic, when will they learn to monitor release dates of big name games, Jesus!

Empire Total War is not in the same period, but it came with Rome Total War, I mean come on people why would you even bother buying a lesser title when it sits next to 2 for 1 release of Total War?

That being said, I will buy this game perhaps months later when it goes on sale, they really should have released this before Empire came out to get the sales of impatient people or maybe this summer to catch the people who skipped Empire.

Just a thought

Oh shoot me now, its Alec Meer trying to write, haha...not as bad as that horrid Hinterland review, again not disagreeing with the score.

"a PC Gamer US writer wouldn't produce such a vague review."

Damn Straight!

DafencngHobo and Caddelin, I also just created an account for this site b/c I was also inspired to comment on this review.

PLEASE give the Author a demerit and seriously make sure he understands that his writing skills are sub-par.

This is without a doubt THE worst review on the internet I have ever read.

Gamesradar is known for its comedic editorials, but we Expect reviews to be taken Seriously, come on people!

PS: I do own the game, I think it deserves any where from a 6 to a 7 1/2-ish, so no qualms with the score.
