The single player campaign is very good (quite a bit better than HS, which also factors into the scores it got), but judging it solely on that is really missing what made the game great.

As for HS being a "must play" and the IGN review being trash, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. Like I've said, I thought the game was just okay, and agreed almost entirely with the IGN review.
Even if you do agree with the review, the score made no sense. How exactly does an overall score of 7 reflect categorical scoring of 4 9s and 1 7? All that's saying is that absolutely nothing about the game matters except the gameplay, which is a crucial flaw.

The final score is a joke, whether you agree with it or not.
