I know this isn't released yet but at least one review is. IGN gave it a disappointing 8.2 I think it's a little uncool to give this game such a low score because (mostly) it lacks a robust multiplayer mode.
What do you guys think? Should a game get somewhat low marks for not being great enough at multiplayer - Half Life 2 didn't seem to share that problem but maybe it was because the gameplay was more intricate? Maybe the "combat mechanics" are just THAT bad...
It's a curious direction that Quake 4 has taken this time around, with the heavy emphasis on single-player, apparently at the development cost of multiplayer, previously its very selling point. And while the SP production values are certainly expensive-looking and sounding, the actual combat mechanics feel a step behind the evolution of the genre, and not in an intentionally retro way.
