RESULTS WILL BE SKEWED

YOur research subject is flawed, my friend.....

You will get different results because you have not controlled for the variables...

For example, i love this game, i play for hours at a time....and i paid 9.99 for it.....

BUT i got a substantially better product for my 9.99 than if i had paid 50 bucks for it......why? Because of the heavy MODding/patching that became available several months after the game was released....

I can tell you right now, that i would have dropped 50$ inmediately for MOO3 IF i had read good reviews like the ones after the patching/modding took place.

I bought a different product as the one sold circa 2002. Moreover, product improvement was inversely correlated to its price. Hence, your experiment will fail to produce its intended results.

2Dragonlord, yes, now i realize that MOO3 is not right object. Too many players say that patched game is different. That's exactly i asked for preorder information.

I think that Rise Of Nations would be a better object.

I would probably rate RoN about the same that I rated Moo3, maybe a 2. MoO3 at least for me was playable, RoN had godawful frame rates on my well-above-specs-machine.

I never thought that I would hear these words spoken.

Ludd, please tell your grade. If you played warez edition you can say that you played friend's disk.

Payed $50, a couple of days after it came out
got enraged,
took it back to Fred Meyer the next day
they would not refund my money
Enraged I busted it to bits. Next time I'll try before I buy.
A 1 of 5 is too good for this game. I would rather play MOO1.

[Skanky Burns]

I let Apolyton review it for me, so did not purchase the game.
Nor did I try it for free.

oh, in that context playable meant it would load and move through turns without crashing. Technically playable. RoN wasn't, on my pc anyways.

2NeOmega, you forgot to post "Disturbing image warning!!!"

[Jamski]

I preordered and bought for about 45 Euros.

I'll give it a 3.

It has massive potential, but also massive flaws, so overall an average score.

I bought MOO3 last October, paid around $30 Canadian for it. I had no problems installing the game, spent many hours online reading the Atari Moo3 forums trying to figure out the game.

Gameplay: 2/5
Concept:3.5/5
Documentation: -5/5 (The manual has an ok backstory, the rest of it is a work of fiction)

Thoth, what's the overal grade?
