It seems to me a good idea to tell you guys about the german print magazines that are publishing their reviews of GalCiv2 at the moment.
Let me say one thing first - I know why I rely on Gamerankings and online games platforms instead of listening to those incompetent "journalists" (well actually that seems to be the wrong word) from the printed area.
PC Powerplay: 69%
PC Action: 74%
PC Games: 75%
All of those magazines complain about the graphics and the sound of the game. WTF!
Who cares about graphics and sounds in an 4x game? Furthermore, I like the graphics, you have a superb overview of the situation, addicting shipbuilding graphic-functions and a innovative sound theme never heard before on a computer game.
I'm not sure, but are those low ratings (Powerplay claims to be an "old school magazine", lmao) a result that Stardock doesn't want to book any fullsize ads in those mags? Pretty bad games get really high scores if they are from EA and are covered by a hugh marketing machine. Pure gameplay fun doesn't seem to me an important aspect of those magazines ratings.
I'm really interested whether this is happening in other countries, too!?
