Andromeda isn't perfect, but it's a very good game.
The so called 'video game review sites' did a total hatchet job on it making extra sure to heavily cover any negative angles.
I don't know if EA just refused to pay for reviews or what, but man.. they really had a vendetta when it came to this game.
The game has some problems, it's not like they made stuff up.. but the problem was the way they only covered the negative aspects and totally glossed over all the good things the game has to offer. I know several people who didn't purchase the game because they read that it was horrible and full of bugs. I convinced 2 of them to buy it anyway.. they both loved the game.
