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. -- John Bodin Publisher, The IRL Insider Magazine http://irlinsider.adnetweb.com/ "Just another troll with a Web site! <G>" >Ok, this game review site doesn't look too professional, but Dirt >Track Racing got a 1 out of 5 points... >http://gameguru.box.sk/ >Andre
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. Jan. ----
Better queue up for M25 racer then - according to his reviews! Tony Jan Verschueren wrote

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.

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. DK
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 ---- And here's the message I sent him: ------------------------------- R.
