What's so great about this game?

User Rating: 8.1 | Freedom Fighters PS2
I just beat Freedom Fighters and I'm just wondering why this game was given a 9.3 rating? Nothing about this game knocked my socks off. When a game receives a 9+ rating I assume there's something revolutionary about the game, for example GTA 3, now that game was revolutionary and was worthy of a 9+ rating. Bottom line is I'll probably play through Freedom Fighters once again before shipping it back to gamefly.com, and by months end I'll probably already forget about it. To me it was just another solid but not spectacular game, along with many other third person shooters.
