Avault. Its like they are payed by EA to flame every release. But how is
he to compare an arcade game to a sim. He is complaining cause a sim doesnt
hae enough arcade features in it. They should not let NFS guys review sims,
thats the problem. Do good flight sims get bad credits? Do they say that
some space game is much better cause it is easier to fly? no they rate the
realism of teh sim.
