I'm just still surprised by two things: that this game is supposed to have some actual quality in it (first I've heard of this), and that a reviewer for a major gaming site was actually willing to see that.

To the first point, it seems most gaming reviewers always give things they don't personally love a hard time, and anything less then amazing seems to be written off as not worth your time. There's probably a few other titles out there that are well made or at very least have their strong points, but still limited to budgets and liscenses and generally under the radar of the gaming media.
To the second point, the reviewer in this case isn't part of IGN's normal staff. His opening paragraph claims he's a freelancer. I'm guessing he didn't feel any pressure from IGN since he's not formally employed by them.
