    I only played for a few hours. Worst $50 I spent. And I did seem to suck.

    I don't even think I got past the tutorial .

    I got tired of searching all over the freakin' place for a stupid sheep.

    I don't like the spell system of drawing- my mouse movement just isn't that accurate- I don't have a steady hand . And it was too much like a RTS. I thought it would be more different. The reviews said it was a unique game. And the reviews were so damn good.

        Probably not going to... not big enough to jump on.

        One of the funniest reviews I've ever read. even better than PC Gamer's eXtreme Paintbrawl. Thanks to whoever it was posted the text of that. I printed it out to the amusement of everyone I showed it to

        One of the great things about really bad reviews is the horrible things they say

        "Horrible beyond all imagination. Rotten to its stinking core. Like a nightmare from which one cannot wake" - Extreme Watersports

        "An Open weeping sore of a game" - Skydive

        I was just about to point out that Horsie is simply making excuses in advance for why he will suck at Civ III...

          that was a hilarious looking game.

          I was tempted to buy it to see how horrible it was. I think CGW had a good (as in bad) review of that one as well.

              Indeed, but have you actually PLAYED it?

                Well..., I was considering cataloging the articles in the magazines, too, but that would be a bit much

                  It was fun for about 1 or 2 hours, which shows how long these reviewers play with it efore rating it.

                    that big rigs game. Unless I'm thinking of another game. I can't imagine they would make 2 crappy games about big rig racing. Then again...

                      i used to like doing these kind of cataloguing (is this right?) when i was younger. i gave up when i realized that it was worthless.

                      but then there was no internet where i could show the results of my efforts.
                      I watched you fall. I think I pushed.

                        I was stupid enough to buy Squad Leader before I read a review of it. Its not the worst game in history (it was relatively stable and bug free) but it was definitely an unpolished amateur effort. Bargain bin material.
                        To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.

                          I think Games Domain is quite good with games evaluation too. But Starfleet Command sucked.

                            There was one last year called "Big Mutha Truckers", which sounds horrid, and was reported to be actually pretty good.

                              "HARD TRUCK" was also reported to be a very good game, with a very unfortunate title

                              It was an actual trucking simulation... You were penalized for speeding

                              The best memory I have of it is the review in CGM:
                              "It is good that a game like this can be released in this day and age. However, the question is, whether the world is ready for a game like this in this day and age... and whether this game can actually qualify as a 'game' in the normal sense."

                                most mags get like money and **** from game companies.

                                at least thats what i figured when they made craptastic reviews.

                                Reviews by dumb loser geeks in gamefaq forum >>>> game magazine review IMO.
