Gamespot's Review isn't very neutral. This game is completely underrated.
More importantly, in the Gamespot review I see nothing except pure hatred for the game's subject matter.
WHO CARES IF IT'S A POLITICAL MATTER? The game is fun, and its one of the most cooperation based games so far.
The review says "You're not strong on your own"..Well, you're not supposed to, that's why it's a COOP game. You're supposed to be strong when you COOPERATE.
It also says that it's "A dumb take on a real issue". So what? There are all kind of retarded takes on WW2 and that was a real issue as well. Just because Iraq is still a modern issue, doesn't mean it is any less acceptable to use it as a background story.
The only neutral issues in the "The Bad" section are the "short campaign" and the "sometimes stupid AI". To be honest, when the game has good cooperative mechanics and fast paced online... then it has achieved it's goals as a Cooperative Game, and it's worth a shot. Considering the graphics and everything else, I have no idea how this game was given less than 7.5
Bottom line: It's lame to try and take down a game just because it touches a sensitive subject matter, such as Iraq. I never expected any of the reviews from the major gaming websites to bash this game because of the background, but this review did, and it did so HEAVILY. As a matter of fact, it was one of this review's main issues, and that is simply not fair.
