Those components you mention often go into whether or not a game is fun, and different people will want more emphasis on different parts, so that's why they each get rated. Personally I prefer IGN's system, which tells you what they think of each part but keeps the overall grade as not an average so they can rate it whatever they want. Though I prefer letter grades to numbers since I think that's more representative of what a review is really doing, grading the game.
