Please read the scoring system linked at the bottom of the review. It's not = 40% (and 75% does not necessarily equate to 4/5)! By all means disagree - go for it, discuss, tell us we suck - but understand the scoring.
Well, maybe it's not possible to equate 2/5 with 40% - but you have a scoring system where 1 is worst game ever and 5 is a gaming gem, so put it down in words anyway you like but 2/5 is still a very very low score.
"A game that has significant flaws or stale gameplay but may still offer some enjoyment to fans of the genre or subject."
This simply does not sound like DM to me! What *significant* flaws does it have when you consider it as an action game and consider what they wanted to achieve with the game? If you had severe technical problems on your machine then I guess the score could have been 3/5 ("A score of 3/5 indicates a good game held back by obvious technical or design issues that limit the appeal.") but since it ran like dream on my machine with high frame rates in 1600x1200 and no crashes during the whole game, and since I enjoyed the action and level design quite a lot, then I guess my score would be 4/5 as I mentioned earlier.
Review scores are of course always a matter of opinion, so I understand why some might not rate it as high as me. I would have accepted 3/5 without comment but 2/5 just seems so completely unfair and overly harsh for the good people at Arkane, so I had to comment it
