New "Game-Over" Review of SE4

[Mac]

Give the guy credit, he played it at least. As to the fussing about complexity, that is pretty much an each to his own. Tactical combat is at least a somewhat legit gripe if only because given the bent of his comments, he is not a strategic turn based gamer at heart. The graphics comment is, IMHO the killer. For me state of the art graphics is in the nice but hardly important Category compared to gameplay. This guy just needs to wait for Myst III, it won't do much but it will sell well and look great. I've played all the 4x and SE IV has gotten more of my precious time than BOTF or MOO2 and I really enjoyed those. RFTS vanished from my hard drive within an hour of firing this puppy up.
