It's not even f*cking close to boring. My guess, the assholes who reviewed it played one or two games then gave up on it.

I thought it was pretty cool when I first started playing it, but I found it kind of cumbersome and confusing, not to mention hard to control, but after a couple hours of play I can see it's really damn amazing. It has surpassed my expectations ten-fold. It seems so simple on the outside, but it's as deep as hell. I love the upgrades you can get, and the army type advancement you can achieve over XBL, becoming a sergent or a general and what not. Really awesome.

The different mission-type objectives on the various maps are awesome too. Like the SHC having to storm the Tediz beach stronghold (ala the "It's War" chapter), while the Tediz defend their leader, or taking over towers and hook up electrical currents inside of them; in order to either destroy (SHC) or use (Tediz) a war machine. I'll actually write up my own review of the game a bit later.
