I gave it a ten for what it is - the best overhead tower defense game you can buy right now. I'm really confused by folks that liked DG1, but not 2. It looks to me like they gave everything people wanted from 1, including multi-player and user created content. I didn't care for the MP, but the user content is going to be huge. I also liked the new tower perks mechanic and engine.

This game doesn't work. I don't know how to gie a higher score to something that literally won't play. So far I have just spent $60 and a chunk of free time for aggravation and buyer's remorse. I gave a 1 instead of a 0 only because I suspect the game is good if it actually runs and I feel bad for the folks that spent so long making it to have it crippled and hated like this as part of a poor business decision.

I didn't buy this game when it came out due to the bad reviews, but I picked it up recently and am liking it a lot. The reviews I read focused on disliking the story and lack of innovation in gameplay. Personally, I think the story is fine. And no, the gameplay isn't innovative, but it does what it does quite well. If you only want to play open world shooters with great AI, then don't buy this. If you like a diversion of a linear 'shooting gallery' shooter with great graphics and production values, then give it a shot. It is essentially Modern Warfare with better graphics, very cool environments (loved the flood level), and (to my taste) a better story. I haven't tried multiplayer yet, and usually stick to dedicated MP games like Battlefield, Planetside, or TF2 for that. There are SO many multiplayer FPS options now, and many of them free, that I buy this kind of game mostly for the single player thrill ride. I'm also perfectly happy with a 8 hour campaign as long as there isn't a lot of filler and the production values are high. So, with all of that in mind, you should really check out this game if you like the kind of game I described above.
