The story is what is deducting points I believe.
It is by far the area the game is lacking the most in which is jarring considering Todd Pappy going all "We wanted to tell a story we felt needed to be told" etc.
But having said that: The game as a whole really has a lot of elements that are the best of the series which is a remarkable achievement. One cannot ignore the Multiplayer either which I feel should in some ways make up for the story. Ofcourse it wont to SP only fans, but as a reviewer: You have to look at the overall product.
