The issue with previews is that they're always positive. I remember Samba De Amigo (sorry if that's not the real name) on Wii was said by IGN to be a GOTY contender.

This is nothing against R2, it's looking fantastic, but I am just saying that GOTY contender gets thrown around a bit much.

 

True.

Btw, quesiton. This won't apply to R2, but anyone mind telling me why previews are always positive, but some reviews turn out negative for some reason?

 

Because you don't lose any crediblity for writing puff piece previews and preview copies are guaranteed to have glitches, have incomplete storylines  and framerate issues that frequently won't be found in the finished product. Also being too hard on previews could result in a more difficult time obtaining them.

Most of the time serious flaws are found the writers quickly mention that it's not a finalized copy and they hope such errors will be fixed before release.
