Default Re: Another favorable Dom2 review - PC Gamer magazine (US)

I read this Last night. A fair, balanced review - not quite as fawning as the CGW review a couple months back (incidentally, CGW ran a correction this month that belatedly gave Dom2 an "Editor's Choice" icon, something it should have had automatically based on the 4.5 star review).

Trotter correctly points out the flaws in the game (interface, micro-management issues late in the game) while being surprisingly lenient on the graphics. I suppose because he usually review hex-based wargames, the “static sprite” nature of the battles didn’t bother him. He did have high praise for the developers and mentioned that only a two-man development team could have possibly gotten a game like this out nowadays.

The sub-headline was something clever. Maybe "you don't play this game, you mate with it for life". I can't remember now.

Anyway, an 87% for PC Gamer is damned good.
