Don't listen to the reviewer here at gamespot....
Game reviewers usually rush to finish a game in order to meet a deadline, and that's why review scores are always not indicative of the real quality of a game. Also, game reviews never, EVER look into multiplayer modes, and in this sense, LP also shines. It's a great counter-balance to my occasional online games of GOW.
The previews and trailers of this game, as well as the demo, very much tell you how awesome this game is. A very inspired piece of work from the geniuses at Capcom! Highly recommended!
