I don't know, it's been getting a positive response from people who have actually played the game. I know a few people who own the game, whose opinion I trust, who have said that it's certainly far from great, but it's not anywhere close to being as bad as reviews are making it out to be. It's definitely not up to the level Itagaki hyped it to be, though.
It's gotten tremendously positive reviews in Japan, for whatever that's worth.
