Disagree as you will. He's supposed to review the pack, not the way EA takes advantage of loyal customers. We already know they do that. Also, a lot of people rely on his reviews. A good review shouldn't leave a person uninformed and needing to look up other reviews to learn the whole truth - good or bad. That's the whole point of a review.
For an item like the Rodent Rug... well, that's downright misleading, because it swatches into multiple animals and shapes. Some pet beds also have multiple shapes and markedly different designs, and he doesn't mention this.
He also says "This stuff just acts as a constant teaser to buy more content so you don't feel left out and I assume thats's the point." Yeah, it kind of is - definitely is, in fact - but you don't buy Cats&Dogs to be able to use another pet bed that came in the expansion - you buy it to play with Cats&Dogs. I mean, it keeps Cats&Dogs in the light but it's not holding a gun to your head simply because it's so specifically aimed at people who did buy Cats&Dogs and even then I'm sure most people can live without a hamster in their lives.
The Gameplay object, ultimately the most important object in any SP, got like, a minute, and the disease - considering that people have been asking for more deaths - got about thirty seconds. Compare about four minutes spent ranting about EA, and how it takes almost two minutes at the start to get to the actual game content - about half of this is spent assuring us that LGR doesn't hate The Sims.
Gotta say a lot of that furniture totally annoys me though. Okay, NOW I am convinced that there was stuff directly stripped from the C&D pack. You want to get cross about any aspect of the pack? Get cross about THAT. No wonder this pack came out so fast.
