Having played almost every game in the series I have to say this is probably the poorest entry.
I have played it through and nothing about it was terrible... But there was nothing new or great and the things they have developed so well in other games in the series with massive maps, in depth story lines, proper development and progression pathways where just a bit... Average in this one. Add to that the fact there were a few bugs and glitches in the gameplay and you really just get the impression that the was a half hearted attempt compared to the rest
