And I have been waiting for someone to comment. The circle is complete.
I am pretty jaded to be honest, but the review isn't based entirely on my expectations. It is a sequel after all, and all sequels in any medium are judged based on their predecessor.
I think that had KAOS just taken out the SP entirely and sold it as an MP-only digital download that they would have done a much better job at getting the series off to a good start, and maybe work on the singleplayer for another year or two instead of forcing it out.
