Epic Fail.

(Their words, not mine.)

From IGN:

2.0	Presentation A perfect example of how to turn a fun idea into pure tedium.
1.0	Graphics The game technically does have graphics.
3.5	Sound Terrible voice acting, but at least most dialogue is voiced.
3.0	Gameplay How did they manage to mess up a camera in a turn-based strategy game?
3.0	Lasting Appeal If you can find any joy in this mess, then you'll find many hours of deluded fun.
2.5 Terrible	OVERALL (out of 10 / not an average)

As far as I am aware, not too many people were interested in this game prior to release. But for the few (if any) who were, I though I'd post the review.

I can't say that I'm terribly surprised. Just playing the demo was a chore.

Hates Nomura.

Not surprising, the game looked like crap from the get-go. I honestly have no idea why anyone would be excited for it. If people want a turnbased strategy game based on WW2 (with some futuristic twists like power suits), pick up Silent Storm for the PC.

I spent 40 precious minutes of my life downloading the demo on my 360 and 2 frustrating minutes trying to pass the incomprehensible menus and controll the spinning camera.
I think 2,5/10 is wayyyy to indulgent
