as a newb, I think at the end of the day Alleg. varies on people. Some people like and some don't and that's just the way it is based on the genre of the game. All of my friends wonder why I would like to play such a 'boring' game and no matter how much I tell them about the amazing parts they will not understand because that is not what they are looking for in a game. So either you hate it, or you like a lot.
The reviewers problem is he was expecting something different.

I thought you used green space walruses to kill miners and cons?

Figure theres always one. Someone who has to go against the norm. I can recall Gamespot and all the mainstream gaming sites giving Allegiance much love in reviews. Its still listed among the ten best games you've never played on gamespot if I recall correctly. Forget this guy, his review, and whatever he writes for.
