Poor fella will never know what hit him ;)

I did laugh at this tho : -

"True to form, the Americans use the word 'International' a lot in
describing NASCAR, just as they use 'World Series' to describe baseball, but
the sad truth is that nobody outside the US is interested in either."

Hehehhe.. I must say it's true.. and the Brits do this as well.. as in
"Snooker World Championship".. what? Who cares about snooker? ;-)

Must be some english-speaking country habit.. :-D... I'm sure the aussie
have their own "World Championship" for something obscure they only play..

However, I did notice that his in-game screenshots were from one of the
chase views. That would be my first sign of something amiss. Not to
mention how he starts out his second paragraph with "If driving round in
circles wasn't boring enough,...".

It's my opinion that the chap needs to spend more time with the title,
then objectively base his reviews on the pros and cons of it. Most
people would realize that Papy has created a niche market for the PC.
Similar to the niche space simulation titles out there.

What I mean is that not everyone is going to pick up a specific title
and have a good time with it. Yet I believe the fair thing to do is for
the reviewer to put down his/her bias while they're playing a game and
focus on what works and what doesn't within that game, instead of
thinking "I hate oval racing and this just sucks, therefore I'll give it
a bad score".

Objectivity and bias are two very different things.

Professional baseball players in Cuba, Japan, etc come to the United
States to play when they want to make real money and face real
competition from the world's best players (just as Americans go to
other countries when they aren't able to find a suitor in MLB).  So in
that regards, I don't think calling it a "World Series" is a misnomer
- just that, rather than having international teams playing, the
international teams are essentially farm clubs for non-American
players who end up here.

I'd also like to know what system he's running it on if he's able to
properly play the game with full details on, as he indicates in his
review whilst bashing the graphics.  Again, I'm skeptical.

Tool.

I used to think that too, but in fact the World Series was around
before the newspaper was in existence. It really does mean what it
seems to.

It's ok as a sim, but not amazing - hence the score.

Interesting... why is the greatest example of its genre not amazing?

To me, Medal of Honour: Allied *** is just another stupidly difficult 3D
shooter. I sort of lost the ability to complete these games after DOOM and,
since this genre doesn't represent my main interest in ***, I'm not
likely to put in the time and practise required to really enjoy this game.
All of which doesn't mean I try to force my ill-informed opinion of this
title on other people.

Also, the sniper level is ridiculous.  Load.  Walk 2 steps.  Shit, I'm
dead.  Reload.  Walk 2 steps looking for where the shot is coming
from.  Reload.  Take out sniper.  Save.  Repeat.

MOHAA had about 3 hours of gameplay in it if you remove the sniper
level.
