IGN gave our game a 7.4/10! Not too shabby for a licensed property on the GBA!

As the AI programmer, this caught my attention:
The only issue with this design choice comes with poor character AI. Whenever leaving an

I generally interpret those sorts of comments as meaning, "I don't really think it's that serious an issue, but I want to sound strident and important."

Thus, the seemingly unequivocal judgment of "simply inexcusable" (which sounds important), immediately -- or in this case, pre-emptively -- qualified by the admission that "[the] rule simply must be used" (which more accuarately reflects his actual opinion).

It's the reviewer's individual bias! The design decision was made and you did your job. The user ratings are something I'm much more interested in. :)

Well, given more time, we could have solved some of the stickier navigation problems. But as the Tao of Programming illustrates:
The highest sounds are hardest to hear.
Going forward is a way to retreat.

That's not a bad score at all! Considering most movie liscense games get 4s and 5s I'd say it's a cut above the rest. I see what you mean about the crap writing of the reviewer. Design choices are all preference, a lot of reviewers bashed Battlefield 2 for having terrible controlling vehicles. Thank god they don't control any better or the game would be just a vehicle battle.

I like the idea of your helpers not being too agressive, it would piss me off. I can't wait to play the game.
