While I agree that CMI is my favorite Adventure Game and I think it deserves a higher score, a 3 1/2 out of 5 is not a failing grade so I personally have no problems with the person's review.

I have to choose Toonstruck's 2 1/5. That is just such a cruel grade, like rubbing salt into the wound considering the game bombed anyway. (And I believe the exact same review is also available on justadventure.com) The reviewer clearly stated that the comedy was "Poorly timed" but I couldn't disagree more. I recently replayed it, and I laughed at almost everything that came out of Drew and Flux's mouths. I guess some people don't appreciate sarcastic satire, but that's certainly not much of a reason to deduct so many points. I would at least give it a 4 or a 4 1/2, only for some odd animation sequences and unfinished plot.
