Morrowind Review at PC World Australia

One of the funniest reviews of Morrowind I hav ever seen has been posted by PC World Australia (thanks to Remus for finding it). The review is a negative one, which would be ok as an opinion, but this is heavily overshadowed by what I would call utter incompetence. Here are two snippets from the review, explaining why I am so harsh:
    The main problem with Morrowind is that you can't save. If you're an ace gamer that's obviously no problem — you can sail through the easy stages with no need to obsessively save just in case your powers aren't quite as impressive as you thought and you end up dead. Unfortunately, this fate was repeatedly mine."
and
    If these problems weren't enough to put me off Morrowind, I also wasn't keen on the way you see — or rather don't see — your character. In other RPGs you can see your virtual self in action onscreen, but in Morrowind you are effectively behind his or her eyes. In other words, you see what your character sees, not your character itself. This isn't the only game to take this approach, but I find it off-putting.

Gosh.
