Fair review. Graphics and Sound aren't all the great, and if 2/5th of the review is based on these two window dressings than Dom2 will get a bad grade. Especially when another 1/5 of the score is based on some one's over all opinion of a game that is difficult to learn. So be it. IMO, the author really gave props to Shrapnel by saying that it [the game] has lots of potential, but is just not there yet. I think we can all agree on that, but the game is still incredibly addictive to hardcore strategy games, and we see that potential in this game more so than other so called strategy games.

If I were to rate the game, based on their rating system it wouldn't be good. Yet, this is still a game I would recommend to ppl, like me, who love TBS games... Thanks Quantum Mechanic

I responded in turn with my own review. You know, it was really a bit low, but still, it wasn't all bad. Hey, I'd never have bought the game if it were not for Gamespot's review. The review essentially tells you the game is too hardcore. What a bummer.

It's a real ego booster to know that the learning curve of the game you play is too high for those who are having a hard time with Barbies Dream Castle...
