And if Yahtzee was judging it solely on gameplay, then why was the whole review packed stem-to-stern with racially charged language and factually dubious statments? (and most damning of all, wasn't funny!)
To dispense bile against the US? Wouldn't be the first time.
But why? Why does he hate the US so much? Could it be he's living on a glorified penal colony filled with hyper-aggressive and very venomous spiders and made almost entirely of desert? Is it because he handle the fact that Australia is of dubious relevance on the world stage? Because every time he take a swipe at America, it carries a certain air of jealousy. Or penis envy.
Considering that he actually likes living in Australia (wouldn't have lived there for so long if he didn't like it) and is actually english I doubt its something like envy. Besides, wildlife in the US isn't any much better.
Maybe because the US has commited some pretty horrible things in its history and now it the "world cop" the world doesn't sit well for him. Probably also because most of these games have you fighting against foreigners, in a "look at our problems being the most rich and powerful country in the world, boo hoo" way (hence the killdroid comment in the review).
I really don't know man, ask him if you really want to know.
And besides, being dubious in the world stage is kind of awesome, since you can just do your stuff in complete peace without having to worry about the US funding some coup to overthrow your government.
