It's a bit obtuse and janky, but its totally forgivable considering how much replayability it has to offer.

42 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The campaign is ambitious, the sandbox is enormous, and the multiplayer can produce some absolutely ridiculous moments.
Performance

While it's definitely playable, it's fairly easy to turn into a slideshow on more intense scenarios.
