This sort of thing happens every time a new, hyped game comes out. Fans who have been anticipating the game for ages start playing it, and in their "wow, this is so new and exciting!" phase, they proclaim it to be "the best game ever made" or some such thing. Then, a little while later, they start to realize that the game isn't the best game ever made, and is, in fact, just one more very good title in a growing list of very good titles out this year.
Give the game a couple of weeks before you start insulting reviewers over pointing out its flaws. Chances are, by then, you'll agree with them.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
