They don't say much about the storyline and from what I can gather it doesn't seem like the narrative is strong at all. Giving the game a 9 despite the fact makes me question the integrity of the review.

 

the multiplayer portion must be pretty good then

 

good score so far, i'll predict  94% on metacritic

 

It doesn't matter. A game without strong narrative should not recieve a 90+ score. Narrative standards in games seem to be lower than for movies and books, and most reviewers and developers have been putting gameplay before storyline. That should not be promoted by essentially rewarding such games and developers with such high scores, forgiving major faults such as a weak plot.

But games are NOT books or films.  Should books and films be given low marks because they have very weak (actually, non-existant) gameplay?
