Well, I had a brief look at the Strategy Informer review, and at least the comments aren't as stupid as in the IGN review. He does actually make a good point about how you get very strong units in the tutorial and then peasants in the main game. It would have been nice for King's Bounty to have a better tutorial.
I know, a game where the player has to *learn* something for himself.
The comment about not being able to run away from stronger enemies is retarded, though. I made running away from things my stock in trade for most of the game.
