View, CA Lines: 17 [<+>] I'm not actually going to review IJ&TOD - one of the first reviews I saw on the net said almost exactly what I would have said (lots of fun, worth the $$, but inferior to "Raiders"). But I do want to respond to one point repeatedly raised in the negative reviews - violence. Some of the comments I've seen make IJ&TOD sound like a Grand Guignol, and that's too extreme. Yes, there is violence in IJ&TOD, some of it very graphic. There was also very graphic violence in "Raiders", though, and IJ&TOD was really not much different in this regard. Yet many commentators have given the impression that it's far worse. I can't tell you whether IJ&TOD will be too bloody for your tastes; but I do say it's not as extreme as some have made it sound.
