I'm amazed, and honestly a bit disappointed to find this thread. If this is one of the most controversial reviews on Abandonia then you really need to start raising the standard people... I don't feel the need to defend the issues with the review myself, as I'm glad to see others have done that perfectly already. But I will say this; if you don't agree with what's written in a review, then fine - disagree, and feel free to bitch about it all you want. That's your right. What you don't have a right to do however is to censor parts of a review just because you yourself find something in it offensive. Things that you either don't agree with, don't see or don't want to understand. This is what disappoints me. Yes, maybe a perfect game-review should be 100% objective, but that doesn't happen. One reviewer may find a game too violent, another wants much more blood and heads flying around. One reviewer feels the game is frustratingly hard, but people who bought it based on his/her review feels it's way too easy and becomes angry with the reviewer. Another reviewer thinks it was a grave mistake to include certain stereotypical characters or politically incorrect statements in the game, while others found it funny or couldn't really give a damn. Some reviewer think the game is so horrendous it should be banned, others can't praise it enough. And, lastly, one reviewer liked a certain game for it's game play, but would rather see a nude female main-character instead of a nude male, while others liked the guy... Get the point? It's all personal opinions - and unless you learn to deal with this I suggest you stop reading reviews, at least independent ones.

I won't re-write anything. If someone else changes the review then so be it, but then expect it to turn up someplace else uncensored with the tag "banned from Abandonia" and the reasons why it got changed, because people need to see just how low the bar on censorship is set around here.
