The main reason people are getting upset is that this reviewer made a faux pas when it comes to journalism. He insulted his audience. He said, "Characters that you feel like you're committing a crime just looking at the TV screen." and some other lines that suggest that any adult man that would pick of this game would be so revolted by it that they would hate it or is a pedophile. I liked the game and never once, while playing it did I feel like a pedophiliac.
He also threw in some other awkward lines referring to "Twilight Vampires", "sexualized fetish outfits" and other such tidbits that have nothing to do with the game. At best, he just hates the game and that is fine. At worst, he is intentionally trying to guilt trip any adult who would actually like this game as well as any adult who would give this game to say their 8-year-old daughter. Personally, I prefer game reviews with more critique and less sass.
It is because EA has specifically said that they will not do any singleplayer only games. Never mind that they bought up companies like Bioware, Insomniac and Maxis who are all known to make great singleplayer games and are now going to be pigeon holed into making sp games with poor mp components. It is a perfect example of publisher/developer meddling and another reason to hate EA.
