JRPGs are typically repetitive, linear and lacking in any substantial decision making. There are plenty of valid complaints to be made against JRPGs. The only real problem I see with western gaming journalism is the laughable frequency at which they hand out their 10/10 ratings. Instead of bringing up all JRPGs (I would rate a few higher than average) I'd knock down games like Bioshock, Halo 3 and GTA 4.
