  • gameplay20 mentions

Overall, while there are some interesting elements, the gameplay is often seen as a weak point in the overall experience.

    • “Is there any substance here, or is it another participant in the increasingly common bait-and-switch title releases? You know, baited by some reasonably good-looking screenshots and bombastic writing about the awesomeness of the title, only to find a pre-chewed, tasteless, blurry, and non-optimized nightmare come true.”
