Some bad reviews on DW8E make me laugh.
"It's a button masher!" - Try playing it in difficulties above easy, scrubs.
"It's just DW8XL with some strategy!" - ... And that's a bad thing because...?
"Only one new officer, OMG!" - sure, forget the fact you can create your own freaking new officers.
I don't always read online reviews of games, but when I do... I regret doing it.
