Wait, the line in question is the bolded line?

People are calling that plagiarism?

There's only so many ways you can get the point across that in skirmish you can play against up to seven bots and two players can go at it split screen or you can play eight player via WiFi connection.

Jesus people, that isn't plagiarism, it's the internet being stupid.

Those two direct lines, appearing word for word right next to each other in both reviews, are highly suspect. Add in the last line also being verbatim (there's no way the "like a raincoat that makes you temporarily water resistant and a towel to dry yourself off" line is also accidentally a word-for-word copy), and plausibile deniability is gone.

You mean the lines where he's talking about gameplay mechanics?  I haven't played the game, but I'm guessing there's a raincoat that makes you temporarily water resistant and a towel to dry you off.

Again, there are so many ways to tell you that information.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was some sort of manual it would say the same exact thing.

If you follow the paragraphs around the ones taken word-for-word, you'll find they follow exactly the same structure.  He uses some synonyms, changes a couple expressions, but he's clearly just rewording the IGN review.
