    The multiplayer is a blast but the single player contains some of the most rediculous unbalanced programming I have ever seen. The AI favors itself tastelessly, not even being subtle in giving itself four if not more moves in a row. Please imagine playing a standrad turn based RPG in which an enemy attacks once then gains four extra attacks for no apparent reason and you have a sense of The multiplayer is a blast but the single player contains some of the most rediculous unbalanced programming I have ever seen.

    Also, the fact that enemy AI just happens to execute almost every move with near-perfection by lining up multiple turns in a row makes for some frustrating gameplay. [May 2007, p.87]
