All magazines I know rate this game in normal review, they can't ignore it even if not payed by the devs/producents... so this is already good enough advertisement IMHO... and for free... still there has to be something wrong as this game was announced long time before DEMO, Demo was out for quite long time as well, still many many players missed this game totally... how? (if magazines have it reviews/ previews, comments... ) the difference could be that the review comes out once, but the ad can be there for more months...

also reviews could be very subjective, many games looked poor from the pen of a reviewer (and the reviewer did not need to dislike the game, he just pointed on parts of the game you don't like or don't care and he misses the parts you love) - so after I read the review of such games, I ended up "blew, never ever I will buy or try such game", but after a year it ends as demo or from my friend on my PC and I wonder... HOW COULD I MISS IT?...

Games like Fallout 3 was nearly unmissable, but probably because it has already huge base of hard core F2 fans... but still, maybe something was done in their marketing 1C Company could adopt in order to sell their games better.
