I'm finding it pretty amusing how the reviewers I generally respect the most have been giving NMH a relatively low score (8.2, 7.8), but the ones I couldn't give a toss for are rating it much higher (9.0, 9.0).
I guess this shows the game is a serious case of love-or-meh. Lots of style and awesomeness, not to mention pretty decent gameplay, but also a pile of minor flaws.
In other words, pretty much what I was hoping for. Definitely still buying as soon as it arrives to the civilized world.
