IGN just reviewed this game and gave it a 7.5. They say they love the game, but the online was horrible. Stupid pirates are destroying the servers and are causing horrible review scores. In defense of the game reviewers, reviewing a game quickly that is really great at the core, but outside influences, such as horrible multiplayer (stupid pirates), is hard. You want to give it a good score, but you don't want to get yelled at by people. I say, after about 20-25 of gameplay (none of it online, those damn pirates!), I would give it a 8.5.
