It's not so much a double standard. Look at the top 10 games of the generation.
- Is a great game not a great game for lacking innovation, having shitty controls, being dull colored, soundtrack, being full of cliched, or not having a story?
- Is a great movie not great because their is no score, is in black and white, or if there is no scipt.
- Is a great painting not great because it lacks abstract qualities or is only abstract?
The review system is broken, but I do not think being able to appreciate the greatness in spite of (or because of) the flaws is one of those problems.
I started a thread earlier about why I don't like Okami, but I also state later in the thread that I understand the beauty and innovation of the game. I respect it and I respect those who have different opinions.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
