Should I listen to the review or buy it anyway?

I think it's a good game, and the fact the gameplay is still interesting even though the core concepts were laid out in the mid-'80s says something about its design. Download the demo, give it a try yourself, and you'll be able to tell what to expect for the price. Personally, I think it is well worth the money, but you can (and should, obviously) decide for yourself with the demo.
