I agree that just because someone likes a game that low scores should be thrown out or ignored.  I will say that their can be a certain base bias that goes into scores especially if reviewers consciously or unconsciously enjoy one platform over another.  Either way, the vast amount of low scores means that CD3 is one of those games where its a love or hate type of game.  If going by the reviews you are probably going to enjoy the game based on your expectations and style of gameplay you like not because the game is broken or some rushed out cash grab.

Yep, seems like competent enough that if you like the type of game and can ignore minor flaws and graphic not being very high quality you'll have good fun.

Nobody's saying you can't have fun. It's a question of, relative to its cost and other games in its genre, HOW much fun are you having? Mediocre games can be fun, but when you stack everything up it just doesn't compare to its contemporaries. THAT is why it's getting middling or poor reviews, it's a disappointment to most. And those who play games for a living have played a LOT of games and find this one in particular to be boring, uninspired, repetitive, and lacking in polish. It's not a BAD game, but it's not a particularly good game, either. It exists. It's barely competent, and other games do what it does better.
