I was SO excited to see that this game had been released. I'd been waiting and hoping for so long. I've played Rescue Team 6 and 7 so many times that I really don't even have to pay attention to what I'm doing anymore but they are still fun. This one was a huge disappointment since we seemed to be heading in the right direction with each new game release. Story line was improving, graphics were better, new levels were interesting and fun ... and then this happened. This game has a hugely loyal fan base. I am quite sure that one of these fans would have gladly helped with proofreading. The writing in this game is just bad. Obviously English is not the first language here. That drives me nuts. Then you have the fact that Ron is now "Ronn" and Carrie is now "Cary" - almost no one ever spells it that way - and Pit is now Pete. That irritates the heck out of me. Seriously, what kind of quality control allows so many mistakes like that to happen? If that's not enough, in the beginning everyone keeps referring to Rescue Team 11 - have we all missed 4 levels? I'm pretty sure this is supposed to be Rescue Team 8 ... So the language and quality control are horrible. As for game play ... what did you do?! The buildings look like they drank WAY too much coffee (which I am saying instead of what I really WANT to say here), the resources all reload at different times, clicking is all messed up ... it's extremely disappointing, especially considering the improvement from 6 to 7. Luckily, for once, I read the reviews prior to just outright purchasing the game. I would have been disappointed, just like so many others. I never made it to even finishing the free hour. I will wait until I can play the game for free. Please don't do this again. We wait so long for a new game ... and this happens. Very disappointed.
