Overall, the consensus is that the game prioritizes gameplay mechanics over a compelling storyline, leaving players wanting more in terms of narrative content.
- “It's a really in-depth game with amazing graphics and one of the best stories you'll ever play.

- “Very high replay value, thanks mainly to local & online multiplayer mode, and great single player modes.”
