Ok, this game review site doesn't look too professional, but Dirt
Track Racing got a 1 out of 5 points...

Ha ha call that a review, I would call it a usenet msg from a complete
***head.

Dont even bother going to have a look, well no second thoughts go and
have a look, its the most pathetic review site I have ever seen, then
send a email to the reviewer and abuse him :)

I'm appalled, Andre -- that you called it a "review," that is, not about the
"review" itself.  The "review" is not a "review" at all -- it's an opinion
piece and nothing more (and a weak, pathetic one, at that).

I can't give any creedence to what this guys says because: 1) I've played
DTR and I love it (along with GPL and Viper Racing), and; 2) He doesn't say
WHY he doesn't like it, doesn't tell us what controller or platform he used
to "test," what mode (his screen shots show one of the the more "arcade"
driving views), what his other favorite driving games are for comparison,
what he specifically likes or dislikes about the game, or how much time he
spent with the game.  It was probably a major effort for him to put down his
N64 controller long enough to simply INSTALL DTR on his parent's system.

The guy who wrote this "review" is even worse than a troll in a newsgroup --
he's apparently a troll with a Website.

You're right John, what a loser!!

He just doesn't get it. I love the "genre: demolition car racing" -bit.
Unless I'm very much mistaken Dirt Track Racing is, in theory at least,
non-contact? ;-))

I'm not going to be put off by that idiot.

Better queue up for M25 racer then - according to his reviews!

Guys. The same person gave Demolition Racer a rave review. He is a gameboy
and nothing more..... and a possible pot smoking democrat... but I'm not
sure.

Slight juxtaposition there...maybe should read:

Ronny,

I'm afraid over here in the states, the arena of political discussion is
sooooooo small, that there's hardly a hair's breadth difference between
democrats and republicans.

I emailed the webmaster of the Gamesguru website after reading that so
called "review" of DTR.
I was surprised to actually receive a reply!! Looks like he's not so bad
after all, but has obviously not really put too much effort into the reviews
on his site. Hopefully he will change for the better; as I pointed out,
there's not too much point in posting a review if you just say it is "shit".
Why is it shit? What makes  it boring? Tell the reader, otherwise, if you're
going to be lazy, just give us a number out of 10, no comments. That way,
we'll understand you didn't like it and will go to a <real> review site for
more info.

Anyhow here's his reply:
-------------------------
I've spent more than 4 hours with this game, trying to find out
anything on it. I'm really sorry, I gave the chance to that game,
but it was just very bad (in my humble opinion).
It was not really 5 minutes, as did you expected. I'm really not saying
to anything or anybody 'total shit' when I'm not 100% sure.

Anyway I really appreciate your opinion, and we're trying to put up online
webbased forum, so anyone will be able to post their thoughts about the
reviews and games itself.
best regards,
Marek
