Good review. I personally would've given it a lower score, but that's just me.
And I don't know about the graphics, they only look good to me in screenshots, in motion it looks pretty rough imo.
I was hugely disappointed with this game overall. Good review once again, it's not fanboyed or overly-critical, it's just right

I was very tempted to give the game a 7.5, but I thought the multiplayer aspects did make the game that much more appealing. But I agree, the game was a major let down after such a long wait.
Just a note though, if I could've, it would be a 7.8 rather than an 8.

Did they fix the models up? In my demo, the native american units were just floating axes and the priest was belly up and looking shocking. Also the demo didn't suffer any framerate drops on my PC and it's nowhere near beefy.
Great review, I was looking forward to this game, but after the demo and witnessing the A.I. I guess I'm sticking with DoW:WA.
