It is actually really sad to read this as actually CoD is a really good game, they just reviewed it way too early :/ Edit: I should have wrote, they released it way too early. http://www.gamespot.com/pc/sim/il-2-sturmovik-cliffs-of-dover/review.html

It's unfortunate, but very expected. The review was actually very fair I thought, although it would have been nice if they waited until the official version of the beta patch drops, seems like it would have fixed a fair amount of performance issues, but there's still no denying the game is thoroughly bugged. I hate to say it, but on a consumer level, it deserves the 4/10. We might not mind as enthusiasts of a dying genre, but your average joe would probably not be too thrilled with such a purchase, and the score given rightfully depicts that. The reviewer also acknowledges that the sim has huge potential to mature in the same vein 1946 did and that it's great fun and satisfying when it works so it's not all bad. Hopefully by the time the NA release rolls around the majority of the game breaking bugs will be fixed and we'll start seeing some respectable scores.

Afraid its a pretty spot on review. As if in this internet age, it needed underlining. You cannot release kludge and get away with it. What on earth were they thinking, when 1c released it in the state it was? Stark contrast as to how DCS managed their release of a10c. Very much the finest modern a/c simulation, bar none.

It is sad, because this sim is getting better, with the patch. Also it will be really great if they continue to work on it. Lets hope so. But dog gone it, this is what happens we you release something that is not finished. Didnt I tell you guys? Well no I didnt but others did. The Tree's and the Nugget's and others were demonized as haters and trolls. What do i have to do to get it through Y'alls thick heads.. I guess I will have to pummel you into oblivion! No I am not gonna do that. THis review is painful and I think this one and the other ones which will dump more horse manure on it will be enough. Lets move on and continue to play it and help make it better... No dont look away! Stop shaking your head no.. It will get better. It will.

It's a pretty good review. I've seen worse games get higher scores, but what the reviewer said seemed reasonable plus he actually played/reviewed the game on merit rather than emotion. Some of the user provided reviews there are pretty painful to read, lots of extremes too, i.e. 1/10 or 10/10 but not much in-between.
I think a lot of people who've played flight sims before know the background to IL2 and rightly or wrongly you do kind of know what you're getting into with an early release from 1C. In terms of gameplay, rather than simulation the bar has moved up quite a bit since six years ago and that's one area that seems to lack any growth at all. What's a bit disappointing is that CoD probably won't bring many 'cross-over' players into this flight sim niche and really only serve those already here, which is a real missed opportunity for complex PC games like this. User reviews are worthless. You either get a 10 from people that like it or a 1 from those that don't. Take metacritic for example. User review starts this way: Game is biggest disappointment in 2011. Keeps crashing on startup (launcher not responding). When it starts it is totally unplayable. Yet he gives it an 8. Really? The biggest disappointment in 2011 is an 8? The gamespot review is pretty accurate, anything higher would be irresponsible even with the patches. They went a long way with performance, but not the other innumerable game stopping bugs. There's really too much broken in the game to remotely recommend it.

It's not a time issue, or a "they released it too soon" issue.
It's been over half a decade in development. This should have been the greatest thing since sliced bread when it came out. The fact that after all that time, it's still have-baked, tells me the issue isn't the oven, it's the chef. This project was mismanaged, pure and simple.

..its this lack of attention to detail that made me wonder what had gone on the last 6 years of its development. To me this seems ass backwards, there is amazing attention to detail, so much detail that they just can't keep up with it all.

I never pay any attention to these"mainstream" game website reviews.I think that rewiev is probably spot on not taking the last patch into account but if this was Call of Duty or any other big studio game it would get 10 now matter how horrible it is

Games that are great and umm playable get good review. Others, while they may be great games, if they're unplayable whats the point.

Is Gamespot a USA site reviewing primarily for USA consumers?
If so, they should have waited for the USA release version. By reviewing the non-USA version, they mislead USA customers waiting for the USA version.
If they are not a USA site, then my comments don't count.

It is a major gaming web site here in the US, dunno how much readership it receives other places. It blows my mind how Oleg's baby turned out. I really don't understand what happened. I am not a huge WW2 flight sim fan, but I was looking forward to this as something too good to pass up, weren't we all? Now I am thinking maybe, if things go well, in a year or so I will consider it again. It is going to be a long hard pull for this sim, bad launches are tough to over come.
