[QUOTE="SteveC, post: 2427013, member: 9053"] Really good points! I think what some people are looking for in a review is basically a list of the contents and they use it to make up their own mind. To me, that's not really a review. One thing a reviewer, a [b]good[/b] reviewer will do anyway, is give me their opinion. I think that all of the best reviewers on ENWorld and RPG.NET pretty much wear their hearts on their sleeves when it comes to their opinions. The very best of them give you [b]both[/b] solid content and their take on it. For me, I have certain reviewers that I tend to agree with. The most valuable review for me is one from someone I trust who reviews a game that I think I'd like, and then [b]hates it[/b]. This makes me seriously examine a product before buying it, and it has saved me having even more bad products on my bookshelf. As far as C&C goes, I think people are having a love-hate relationship with it. For me, I love the SIEGE engine in its simplicity, but much of the remainder is so darn clunky! When I first looked at the game I had one of those "wow!" moments, but when I got to the classes that turned into an "ick!" I don't think I've ever had such extreme opposite reactions to different parts of a game in a very long time. I guess this means I can understand where all of the extremes of reaction occur to the game, since I have both of them myself... --Steve [/QUOTE]
