Or is this review-- >a very positive review-- another manufacturer's plant like "superbird"? All reviewers are generally given a "press kit" which allows them to speed up the time it takes them to do reviews. When the press kit says something like "24 different personalities", the reviewer usually doesn't take the time to verify that they are all there. However, as for whether or not the reviewer went through the entire adventure, as I said it may have taken him only 20 hours or so. Usually, a reviewer will spend 3-7 days on a product, depending on how complex the program is, how popular the program is going to be, how large the review is going to be (in word count), how much the reviewer is getting paid, and how much the reviewer enjoys the program. Therefore, it is quite likely that the reviewer might have finished the complete adventure. As for "superbird" et. al., I can only say that this review (and any official reviews you find) are definitely not created by employees of Fluent Entertainment, our publishers, Vivendi, or any other marketing team hired by either of us. User reviews are, unfortunately, a completely different matter -- and I personally never trust any of them. jm
