Gamespot is now officially on my ***list.
The review was crap. Garbage. Junk. Inexcusable. I'll be posting my own review in a few days, but here's the thing: none of the negative reviews mention the game's sense of humor. RC is uproarious, on a whole range of levels, but that issue doesn't come up. Instead, there's this griping about how it was too easy, or some mumbling about how not all the weapons were useful, or how the storyline wasn't interesting enough. This is like watching "Some Like it Hot" and complaining about the saxophone music.
In short, the critics just don't get it. RC is a comedy. It's a fun-filled, splashy, outrageous space pirate caper of a game. It's funny as hell. Humor, as Number 2 said in one of the greatest TV series of all time (The Prisoner), is the very essence of a democratic society. It's also the essence of gaming.
