Reviewers mattered a LOT in 2001 since you couldn't get gameplay footage outside of a Demo disc. You had to rely upon print reviews or sites. I remember printing off a copy of the IGN DMC review at the library before deciding to buy it or not.
Many reviews were pretty good, but many were also lower while saying it was disapointing. Other games that were forgotten about later on, reviewed better and sold better.

It's easy to nag on that review for not getting it, but the plot is a little obtuse like a puzzle, and there's only one scene in the entire game where James tries to explain things to an audience. Without multiple playthroughs, fan wikis, youtube essays, it's easy to not understand what the hell was going on.
