No, it is not really that bad. I have been vehemently defending this game as one of those tragically underrated games. Here's a recap of review scores thus far:
Gamespot: 5.4
IGN: 5.4
EGM: 8.5, 7.5, and 6.5
OPM: 3.5 out of 5
The reason that IGN and Gamespot gave it such low scores is that they took all the flaws in the game, exaggerated them, and ignored the good stuff. I have found EGM and OPM's ratings to be much more accurate. The driving remains excellent as in the previous games and the on-foot stuff, while mediocre, is definitely not as bad as you would think from reading reviews.
