Avault review stuff -- READ

by Brian Shor » Thu, 29 Oct 1998 04:00:00

Couple of things that I saw at Avault... from the review of Red Baron
3D:

Musical Score:  ** 1/2 The music is nothing to write home from the front
about. It
                     does set a pretty good mood and is typical of the
time, but the nice thing about it is it wasn't intrusive.

If you read the original GPL review, there was a music critiqe, saying
it added no mood to the game, and he quickly turned it off... he later
admitted this was an editing error and this was from his reviw of Red
Baron 3D... the above critique certainly does not look like the turned
the music off...  make of that what you will...

Also, from the top of the GPL review currently:

Editor's Note: Due to the fact that we were missing a vital game manual
                     when we reviewed Grand Prix Legends, and didn't
realize it at the time, The Adrenaline Vault will be re-evaluating the
game in the next few days based on
                     this new information.

So I guess this story isnt over... we'll see how it turns out...

I have one more thing to add... Avault also game the game, ** 1/2 I think it
was for Graphics... or was it ***?  Anyway, check the comment that Avault
gives the game on the front of the box :-)

This assertion has been proven a lie ... the review SPECIFICALLY
refers to music from the sixties, which can only be referring to GPL:

""There is no music in the game so I didn't rate this section. Heck,
the game is supposed to be set in the sixties -- they missed their
chance to get some really good music in the game to provide a mood."

Joe,

The text you're quoting comes from the revised version of the review.
The original did not mention music from the sixties.

WRONG!!

I'm not going to go into details again... but just read my previous posts.
I've previously posted quotations of BOTH passages that talked about music,
AS WELL as a bit on his apology for the Red Baron mixup.

*PLONK*

Let's all just consider this Avault stuff done with until the newer review
is posted. I think John Wallace & I have done more than enough to prove our
points.

Don't reply and add to the "Avault.... messages" - like the one I'm
responding to here,
EVERYTHING THAT COULD HAVE BEEN SAID HAS BEEN SAID.

'nuff said!

What exactly is "wrong"?

Um, this is the first message I've seen from you in this thread. I
have no idea what your all worked up about.
