Fairly lukewarm impression of what must be pretty close to a release copy. Pretty much confirms what I thought and the reasons I wont be buying.

Why are there negatives being discussed about a game when it's still in development? A preview should never do that.
I'm not sure he broke any new ground with the negative reaction to the AI. That is not a new discussion regarding the CC AI. The note about a lack of an increased speed option does seem at odds with the praise for the real time earlier in the article.

He didn't, but it's a cardinal rule of previewing a game that only the most egregious of errors are called out.
It's a bad practice to be critical in a preview and ACG's editors know it. Normally I refrain from commenting on other website, but I used to be ACG's gaming editor. They know better, even if their reviewer doesn't. :(

Well I suppose in his defence it cant be still in "active" development if its releasing in november. Other than that not familiar with the etiquette of previews as opposed to a review.
review seems pretty good to me for a CC game.

Unfortunately it's not supposed to be a review.
