I've heard nothing but bad things about it, but that's not why I've never played it. It just didn't look very interesting to me.

I've always figured the reason it got so much flack from people is because of that damn FMV trailer and the conclusions people jumped to and built up expectations for the game based on. Everyone thought the trailer was incredible and it generated so much hype for the game, despite not showing you anything from the actual game. I remember hearing people at GameStop talking about how they couldn't wait for it and how great it was going to be, before it was even revealed what the gameplay was like.

Perhaps I'll rent it sometime soon anyway. I've rented everything else I can think of and now I'm down to first person shooters, so why not?
Let me know when you decide to and I will join you at some point in time.
