    It was like the developers couldn’t decide whether they wanted to make a killer single player mode or a killer multiplayer mode. So instead, players have to settle for average in both departments.

    For single player only experience, this game is [60] and below. If you've got the friends and a WiFi connection, the game is [an 80] and above.
