IGN has a review in progress, saying that they are going to wait until they can play the online multiplayer. Could the reviewers not play the online multiplayer? Because I feel like that is the biggest part of the game...

They played it, but only with other reviewers and YouTubers. They'll check how it runs when it's out (after the experiences with BF4, DriveClub, MCC etc.).

They could so I guess IGN just didn't play enough.

I saw game explain playing with people who also has the copy too. Maybe they are waiting once theres A LOT of people on, since it could affect the 'Waiting Time', and there could be 'Lag'. ( i dont know, just guessing )

That makes a lot more sense, although I'm still not sure that warrants a "review in progress". Oh well!

Yeah. Like most of the times, they do the "review in progress" cause they either got the copy just recently, or the online servers arent up yet ( only when the game comes out for everyone )

Oh yeah, this is the reason. Hopefully the testfires payed off in that regard.

82% with 15 reviews...
The "no voice chat, not enough content at launch", as expected.
Underrated, as expected.

2 of the 3 lowest scores so far were given by Nintendo centric sites. C'mon, show some bias, take one for the team. -_-
