Yup, that review is pretty spot on.

And for the people saying "give the game a chance, it shouldn't be reviewed yet," screw you guys.  It's not our fault the game is bad yet we're the ones being punished for SE releasing the game way too early.  If the game isn't ready to ship, either don't ship it or take the bad reviews you get.

This is the second time in as many days I get to use this quote--

A delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever.

A delayed game can cost ten's of millions extra, with a bad game we have more chance of making profit - Square enix

?

But this is an MMO, the way they make money is by keeping people playing, not with initial sales.

If they had delayed it they may have made a game good enough for people to stick with, now it'll probably be cancelled within the year.
