Ooohhh, this conduct... from Game Informer? Oh man. I never thought of these guys as conglomerate whores, but to give a "glowing game" review to a shitty, shitty game just to placate the publisher, is despicable.
I didn't think they were about that, AT ALL. (for fucking shame)
In regards to this reviewer, I like how when a person becomes honest, they get raped. It's unfortunate that publishers often decide the 'quality of the reviews' and rating they shall receive... doesn't that kind of seem besides the point of having a critique?
Anyways, I watched the review. Given the game looked fairly broken in regards to the control scheme, I was not surprised that the reviewer responded to the mechanics of the game as he did.
The reviewer mentioned attributes of the game that were both appalling (such as storyline) and absence of interesting characters (and dialogue that accompanies general interaction). Still, the reviewer also mentions aspects of the game (such as multiplayer mode) which were decent and worth checking out, in his own words. And he gets fired.
Do the publishers of this game actually think this 'reactive' demeanor is going to help them to sell this shit?
The guys review was more than fair. He got shit upon for being honest.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
