Twice in the same review?  Nope.  You didn't know
how to spell it.  I guess you (and your editor)
have never heard of proofreading, either.

track...9/10 people don't.

I don't think you should be addressing the general
public, you should be addressing people who would
be interested in the demo, namely race game/sim
fans who probably know about Lime Rock at a rate
greater than 10% of their number.

one track in the full
track in a demo is a waste of
average home user connection
game is not worthy of a higher

It took me 2 hours to download and I have no
trouble with the fact that there is only one track
because it's a fun track to drive. If you knew how
to drive or cared a whit about racing sims/games
you could potentially enjoy it also.  As far as I
can tell, that one track takes up about 3 meg of
data.  If you are ***ing about 2 hours for one
track, are you not going to *** about 2 1/2
hours for 3 tracks?  No-one has picked on your
scoring of the game, either.  .

intelligence.

I don't have to insult your intelligence, you do a
fine job of making yourself look like an idiot.  I
pointed out that you have no business reviewing
this type of demo because you have no ability to
assess it in the areas that interest the people
who are likely to be interested in it.  I stand by
that and I seriously doubt anyone but you is going
to think any differently.  I'll be reading r.a.s.
waiting for someone to leap to your defense for
this ridiculous review.

view of the average gamer,
clear in the review if you
download for anyone who is into

Please post the part of the review where that is
stated, clearly or any other way.  I read it very
thoroughly and saw nothing even suggesting that.

In addition, what is the sense in reviewing a game
from the point of view of someone who
doesn't/isn't going to care about it?  I
personally find first-person shooters to be a
b***an unpleasant form of PC game.  Do I think
reviewers should gear their reviews to me by
writing:

    "You get to be some guy who runs around
someplace and shoots other things.  You can get
some different guns that all seem to shoot OK but
I couldn't aim one of them and got bored.  There
were adjustments for some things in the game but I
didn't understand them so maybe they will be
useful to you if you do.  I tried to find someone
to play multiplayer with me, but they said the
game was stupid, so I stopped trying."

C'mon..who is this review supposed to inform?  It
was absolute, pointless ***and if I were you I
would be embarrassed to put my name on it.  I do
give you credit for coming here and letting us
beat you up, though.

view on games, really.

Patronizing, too.  What a swell guy.

So tell them instead of saying "wherever the hell that may be".

Ultimate Race Pro, F1 Racing Simulation, Johnny Herbert Grand Prix,
TOCA2, TOCA, all had one track only too. I cant recall any racing game
which has multiple tracks to race on in the DEMO.

The "average" gamer will want to use his brakes for a start. Maybe you
should try getting a licence and driving a real car to get a feel for
what racing sims/games are all about? Perhaps you would feel better
when someone produces a bumper-car ride simulator so you would never
have to lift your foot off the gas!

I hardly think thats making it clear, especially when its buried
amongst your derogatory comments about having "only one track" and
***ing about the size of the file.

But... many of the folks posting here are not native English speakers,
so they get my respect and understanding if not correct... I mean, if I
tried posting in the two language I *know* (Spanish and German), I would
*** the grammar, etc.

Now, for Brits, Aussies and Americans to make "breaking" mistakes, well,
come on guys... you can do better.

    In reality, shouldn't someone who is writing
for public consumption actually know how to spell
in the first place?  I do, and the guy who wrote
this 'review' said I am an idiot, so it must not
be that hard to do.

Aren't you supposed to be reviewing the GAME AS A WHOLE? Not the demo?  The
demo is what it says, a demo of what will be the full version, so don't say
that the game sux and don't go buy it cause the demo has one track!  And
what other demos have all tracks in them or more than 1 in the original
demo?

        Exactly--this wasn't a review of a racing game, it was a review of a
demo based on a download time/fun time ratio.  It was also aimed at the average
gamer.  Based on those criteria, it was quite good.

ROTFLMAO!!!  Post of the Week, Daxe...or should
that be 'Pose of the Weak'.

Hey, I can spell, just my spellchecker can't!  ;]
