<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS", Modern; text-align: left; '>"Quite how having 40 years of electronic entertainment experience amounts to 'starting from scratch' escapes us, but at least it shows how the notorious arrogance of EA (predominantly based as it is around the continued and baffling success of lukewarm sports titles, bolstered by bland celebrity endorsements and endless streams of identikit follow-ups) was something the DC was probably better without anyway."

Ouch. I'd have to agree. EA makes great sports games.....and that's about it. Sega is an expert at all trades : sports, RPGs, fighting games, platform, party games, racing(well, I'd have to give the nod to Polyphony or Codemasters)etc etc.....</div>
