Short but brilliant review by the Independent newspaper
 

The review is short, hardly a paragraph, but it captures all the imagery of why this game is so good.

Read it yourself-http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/features/games-review-men-of-war-1638956.html

This will hopefully end the CoH vs MoW rant (if it's still going): MoW focuses more on realism (except for voice acting), whereas games like CoH, DoW and StarCraft place priority on fun over realism.

I rest my case.

Another good review
 

I thought the review was pretty fair-http://thereticule.com/2009/03/men-of-war-the-verdict/

Mini review by the Guardian newspaper UK
 

A mini review-http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2009/mar/17/men-of-war-pc.

As you can see, generally positive. And since it is read by so many people, newspapers reviews by big newspapers like these are more likely to influence opinion of a game than an internet gaming site.
