Why would I want to do that? I've already made it completely clear that I don't care about, or for, the style of the maps in question and why this is so. It's the completely unwarranted backlash for the review that's bothering me.
Speaking of getting facts right, now that I've cleaned up that he has indeed pointed out (in the review) that he's not a good enough player to beat it legitimately and that the review was (shockingly enough) his opinion that it's unbeatable for most players - rather than some sort of statement of law like you lot are making out - there aren't really many more facts to cover. He stated that there's a number of maps, some included .bex patches (and their effects) and ultimately concluded that he doesn't like the majority of it, but conceded that a couple of the maps were pretty good for his tastes. There's no way in hell you lot would be happy, because the review isn't the opinion you wanted, which therefore has prompted you to assert that there's some sort of factual inaccuracy (or now, that he apparently didn't bother analysing it properly before giving an opinion, despite stating that he tried all 32 maps and each of the included patches and even seems to have varied difficulties, more than most reviews would ever do) rather than just dealing with the fact that he doesn't like what you like. The fact that it has a huge demo scene is only relevant to the fact that he believes it isn't beatable. End of the day, he can watch those demos all he likes, he isn't good enough to beat the .WAD and very little changes - as far as he and most other players are concerned, they aren't a challenge that can be overcome.
As for the bipolar review thing: you're deliberately avoiding the point I made there with that example to try and invalidate it. THAT is stupid.
