Reasonable on 28 February 2008
I think it's overrated in the sense it actually trailed FPS on PCs but got plaudits due to standing out on consoles. I also felt the story and iconic status was hyped beyond what the material really supports.
It is a very good game nonetheless, and very polished, but for me it trailed games like Half Life, etc. and PC online games in just about every way. Still does really. It's like all the excitement over the Forge in Halo 3 - hell years ago you got the level editor and could make entire new levels/content for PC FPS.
So overrated, yes, but still a good game and worthy seller.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
