    Just bought this game today... it's above average (which would be 5/10), but it's not the best game I've ever played either (which would be 10/10). It sits somewhere in the middle, and 7 feels about right to me. Having just read Edge's review, I think they pretty much got it spot on.

    The problem is that although there's lots that's good about this game, there's also lots that's bad. The terrible vehicle handling (and why can't a tank drive over tiny boxes?), the heavy controls (no amount of tweaking the speed setting helped), the drab environments, the dull weaponry, the complete lack of story... all of this gnaws away at the experience, leaving me feeling a bit short-changed.

    To be honest, I wasn't bowled over by the graphics and I really don't understand those who are. To me, it just looks like any other "war in space" game. There's a bit more going on in terms of men running about and explosions, but I didn't see anything particularly impressive on either a technical or aesthetic level.

    All of this is supposed to be mitigated by the multiplayer experience... well, I don't much like online multiplayer in any game, as I find it populated entirely by obsessives and shouty, sweary young boys. It's very much an "in club" and new members are rarely welcomed.

    So, it's not bad, but not great... in my opinion.
