I was just about to post this review link too. I love Gamespot for gaming news and the such, but I must say, they review for the gamer majority.
I must rant a little, I'm pissed at the state of PC gaming
Most PC gamers [casual gamers] dont read reviews, play demos, or talk on game forums and for that matter most of them never patch their game, or update any of their hardware drivers, they just run to the store and pick up a PC game that catches their eye. As an example, thats why there are so many movie related PC games released, because they catch the casual gamers eye. 99% of those movie games suck.... terribly, but they sell well b/c of this super casual gamer majority. Then when this casual gamer finds out this game sucks horribly in comparison to their console games, they think the PC is a bad gaming platform and so continues the downfall of PC gaming.
end rant, sorta
My point is that GameSpot is reviewing the game as someone who never heard of CM:SF before and knows nothing of the world of small independantly developed games. In my glorious opinion, I think the whole CM series is beyond mere casual review even though the previous CM games got a nice score. I hope many super casual gamers buy this game and cry to their mommies about how bad it sucked. More money in Battlefront's pack I say.
OK, I need to stop, LONG LIVE SPARTA..... I mean THE CM SERIES !
