I think his review is completely fair based on the reviews and footage I've seen. This game has picked up many of the worst trends in shooters and is losing what separated it from the others. In most ways this was an inferior title compared to previous installments... This may motivate some people to go pick up the console, but it's certainly no system seller to the degree that the franchise used to be.
Very much agree with Angry Joe on this one, and I think his reviews have been rather fair lately. He overlooked the many flaws in Metal Gear simply because it was otherwise filled to the brim with awesome gameplay, for instance.
Not every game has to be 80%+. We've gotten strangely accustomed to all AAA games receiving an 80%+ score as if it's a birthright.
