Mad Max is right. I remember the hype everywhere, on all the gaming sites, all coming from Spector. After the game was slammed to pieces by the gamers (and not the totally foreign-to-us gaming press), Spector and the rest just shrugged it off. I think Spector was probably just playing PR. He can't come out and slam his own company's game, it's just not doable.

I hope Spector makes a big come back some day though. Will Wright is kinda like a Pixar of gaming, so we always get G rated affairs there. Spector is more like an Oliver Stone or Ford Coppola.. violence and politics with some meaning
