Hmm... maybe it's just the fanboy of this D-Mod in me talking, but I must say I am sorta disappointed in this write-up, Tim. Sorry.
First of all, Scarab Team 7? Really?! With how much the name Scarab Club 7 is thrown in your face during the game, and the name itself being an obvious reference/joke, I'm surprised you remembered that one wrong.
Also, it sounds to me like you missed a lot of things. Which I can't blame you about. Thing is, writing an article like this about CC2, after just one playthrough, is impossible. I've played it through about ten times and there are still things I know I haven't found, and probably even more I don't know about. For example, you mentioned there is no map, when there is one. It also sounds to me like you missed an entire village, The Oasis, and its dungeon, which probably means you missed out on a handful of quests too. I also assume you missed out on the fact that there are 9 different endings, which I think would've been worth mentioning (pretty sure it's a record).
And it just sounded to me like you weren't very eager to write about this one, for some reason. As if you were purposefully trying to hold it down. Just feels like there are so many simple great things about this D-Mod that you must've known were there, but left unmentioned. Such as the dialogue in the game which no other D-Mod matches, having a well-mapped and interesting world to explore, as well as just all the neat little side things you can do. I mean, they're not any jaw-dropping things on their own, but CC2 just does so many of these small simple things that it becomes amazing. For example, after playing PQ again recently, its dialogue absolutely sucks compared to Scarab.
So yeah, maybe it's just the fanboy in me speaking, but can't help but feel that whereas in the article of Green Voice you were purposefully trying to prove that D-Mod as far more amazing than it really is, it felt like with this one you were purposefully trying to prove it as far less amazing than it is. *shrugs* Personally, I don't think PQ or most other D-Mods come anywhere close to this one, but that's just me. It's obvious you disagree.
