Is White Knight Chronicles really that lackluster?

I'd been interested in the game for some time. I wasn't sure I wanted it, so I didn't pre-order or queue up for it, and waited for reviews. I thought this was so hyped the scores would be inflated, but the Game Rankings average is 69. 69? Yikes. I've seen niche titles with limited mainstream appeal top that.

The only real turnoff I can see about it from previews and the like is the "MMO" style gameplay, and I'm not even sure that's a turnoff. But when the rankings are so low, I can't help but wonder if the game is in some way broken. Anyone here got it?

Anyone here got it? �There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old�s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.� --John Rogers
