The reason it got huge critical acclaim is because it was groundbreaking graphics wise.
But that doesn't make it a great game.

I'd say its worth buying though.

Well, Gamespot, for example, praised its "dynamic, emergent shooter gameplay." In fact, most of the review is a litany of praise for the gameplay. In fact, in this 2 page review, the graphics aren't discussed until the 4th to last paragraph, more than 3/4 of the way into it.

If the gameplay really is mediocre, it's just another example of gaming publications kowtowing to the gaming industry in order to not lose access to things like game previews, interviews with developers, and the like.
