While the above doesn't have much to do with books, the same principles apply. Expectations, poor formatting, etc...all affect reviewers and some people give them more weight than others.

You're still better off listening to friends + critics who have the same taste as you than with Amazon.
If you read through a number of the two star reviews, you find the lack of broad skill trees which made replay value a hallmark of the first two games is also dissapointing people who expected this to be a bigger, better reitteration of the meme.

The internet connection requirement might be fixable with a patch, but the strait jacketed character advancement pretty much insures that this lackluster offering will kill the franchise.
