Okay, so it helps the single player, but isn't a necessity? When I get it, I suppose I could spend some time on it, it looks fun.
Actually...that statement is misleading. Some might call it a lie.
Someone did the math on the war assets in the game...so...
..I can't say I saw this myself: so take it with a grain of salt.
There are a potential 8000 War assets in the game if you do EVERYTHING.
You need 5000 for the "good" end.
If you don't play multiplayer your Readiness multiplier stays at 50%:
Meaning you get only 4000 points.
And thus you CANNOT get the best ending without playing Multiplayer.
I'm curious if the reviewer even checked this or he just trusted Bioware isn't lying.

Multiplayer would be awesome, except for the fact that there's no local splitscreen. You have to be on Live or Origin, which is frustrating. Why can't I just play the game in my living room, on my couch, with my friends?
The console has to process everything twice, so it can't run the game because they're already pushing the graphics as far as they're able without lag.
At least, that's the usual excuse.
It also means that everyone has to buy a console and an individual game: More money for them.
Fun isn't profitable enough.
