Unity is a 3D engine that works entirely in the browser and the environment for this game looks like Unity's proof of concept called Tropical Paradise (http://unity3d.com/gallery/live-demos/tropical-paradise). So I suspect that the reason you have so many criticisms is because the games was not built or playtested by game developers: it was created a marketed as a proof of concept by a middleware development house. Personally, I think that was a mistake - Criterion created Burnout to show off its Renderware technology and it was a bloody good game. Creating a so-so game to showcase your frankly jaw-dropping technology seems like an odd-strategy to me.
