Hence the popularity of first-person shooters. They are a tension release, and you can just jump in and start bLasting away.
I'd much rather have the reviews say up front that this game is not for everyone, than see pissed-off buyers rant about how unwieldy it is after reading a glowing, buy-it-quick review. It is true that this game won't appeal to each and every gamer, or even to each and every TBS strategy gamer; for many, a SP game with nice graphics, nice sounds, where one can relax while kicking some AI *** is perfect. Those players should know where they're going before they pick up Dominions 2.
