It might be interesting to note that Lemon Amiga scores this game a 7.3 out of 10 based on 228 votes. Which is a good three points more than I'd personally rank it, but does show that there is a sizeable group of people out there that do like it.
Just goes to show there's no accounting for taste and that people who either praise games to high heavens or bash them to hell are only rarely a true representation of what the wider audience thinks
