Tom Clancy should be ashamed

The first HAWX game was a home run hit. But this one doesn't even make it out of the locker room.
Graphics are severely last-gen, complete with muppet-style characters and a terrible out-of-sync voice over. The plot is a hodge-podge of Clancy ideas that were left on the cutting board and glued together. The UAV missions act like sleep medicine, bogging down the action more than the time consuming landings and mid-air refueling. Even the back-ground music is comical and too overly dramatic. The lack of cockpit views (and the fact that you must pause the game and go into the options menu to change from cockpit to first person view) shows that the developers cut too many corners to crank this game out fast.
Everything from the lack of advertising on it's release to the actual gameplay blares "We rushed this out as fast as we could, so it could die in the shadows of the Halo:Reach release events."
Let's hope that this is not a sample of what's to come with other Tom Clancy games like GRAW 3 or the next Rainbow 6.
