Its a fair review, except maybe the dogfight description and this;

"the exterior environment is graphically outdated, with dull textures and colors. And because the world below is little more than a flat plane, the game experience lacks a certain visceral quality"

I don't find the textures and colors dull, but I do adjust my Video card settings to setup the terrain color etc to my liking. The world below is naturally relatively flat especially viewed from height, but has plenty of true elevation when viewed at low level. For a flight sim I don't find the exterior graphically outdated at all, quite the contrary, although there is much room for improvement, and can see community involvement is this regard.

No sim will ever get a good review when its released unfinished, especially one this unfinished. The sim deserved poor reviews, but a major point missed by most reviewers is that the series will be a work in progress for many years, and reviews after a few issues are sorted could be much more favorable. This may give pause to any potential customers to atleast keep the sim on the radar for future reference. The good news is the development has another chance to improve the overall reviews when they release the next addon. By then there will have been atleast on major patch for COD, and any new features included with the addon can be applied to COD.
