Uhh. I read the review and I don't see what's so terrible. Granted, I haven't played the game, but from what I saw in the review it kind of just felt like this wasn't his game, so in his opinion the game isn't good. How in god's name are you supposed to write an unbiased review? That's like having an unbiased opinion. It's an oxymoron.

Despite having your own opinion, a reviewer has to step back and look at the broader picture. He has to describe why (or why not) certain things are not good in the game and then further explain by example. The reviewer in this case lets his "wtf, this isn't an ordinary game therefore it sucks"-thoughts dominate his review.

Despite the different nature of the game, that is not a reason to go all ballistics. Take a breath, look at the general picture and then judge. That's how a reviewer should work instead of just ranting his own personal feelings without taking into account who he is writing for.

But I kind of felt like he did say what he didn't like about it.
