The problem with the bad reviews this game is getting is that Kotaku and the other major reviewers decided early on that this game sucked but their decision was based on an alpha build. Then Epic decided to totally stiff-arm Silicon Knights, a lawsuit ensued, people began to dislike Silicon Knights more because they were confused about why they would sue Epic. No one understood how Epic totally f*cked Silicon Knights over. How could this developer sue the devs that made Gears of War (a great game but totally over-hyped) and now the reviewers and gamers take their frustration out on Silicon Knights by bashing a totally worthy game by nit-picking and dissecting it until it's "just another action game".
I stopped listening to reviewers a long time ago because in my opinion they're filled with over-criticism, arrogance, and are way too personally biased. Kotaku especially.
