This is what happens when you go into the video game industry hoping to make a movie. Add in console warriors and you have yourself a storm.

In my opinion, TO deserves the middle-of-the-road reviews considering the design philosophy RaD adopted in making TO. Graphics will look nice to many people and RaD should be commended for TO's visuals but graphics are not the only thing that go into a video game just like lighting is not all there is to a movie. Video games can also feature game play, sound design, replayability, frame rate, a good story, multiplayer, etc.

Let this be a learning experience for RaD going forward.

It's got general praise for the sound, frame rate has been solid at 30fps, but not 100%, story has received mixed reactions. So other than straight visuals it does have other good points, just not the most important aspect of a game (underlined). Replayability and multiplayer are not essential features of a game. If a game is long enough it doesn't need replayability or multiplayer.
