Much better than the demo and all the pre-release articles suggest. I think an April release may have been better. Too close to the release of NCAA and Madden, in my opinion, hurt sales. With the economy in a crunch, people are now choosing which games to buy and which games to pass up. I think FN4 falls into this category. I also agree that the lack of button controls may have added to the surprisingly low sales numbers. Even if people didn't use the button scheme, I think the lack of it as an option paints a bad perception. Overall, FN4 is a great game visually. However, I can see if people aren't comfortable with the controls, the prettiness gets overlooked.... I agree that the vision cone is a bad reference however FN4 is a damn good game.
