This isn't a preview. It's a review of the finished game. But I HAVE seen some negative previews. Nothing along the lines of "Don't worry about when this game comes out; It sucks." But they've said things like "We're skeptical," or "We're not sure what to expect." And as a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure that those things were said about this game.

They give a game a chance to be released before they pass any major judgement. Goes for (or should go for) all gaming mags.

That said, this review makes me have a better idea of what to expect. I'm not saying I'm going to agree or disagree with it until I play the game myself. But a hands-on opinion of the finished product and what we can expect from the game does help you get a better idea of if you might like it.
