I dont see what "innovation" (or the lack of it) are people complaining about. The game is primarily for people who choose intense paced combat over a more realistic one. The game scores pretty good in that department.

I dont say that 8.5 is a bad score. Its actually good for a franchise which has been sticking to the same tried and tested formula for the past 8 years. All I want to say is that docking 1.5 points just for a bad interface doesnt seem to fit in. It gives an impression that there are more flaws in the game which the reviewer seems to be concealing.
