I guess my viewpoint stems from my background as a 3D artist. I have a great appreciation for the efforts and talents of the great teams of people that sweat blood to make such beautiful art.
I personally don't see how a reviewer is more "sophisticated" because they can ignore the mere "cosmetic, superficial" concerns when I consider it as such; art.
"Nothing is wrong with it at all! If you enjoy it, go nuts. It is not, however, a profound concern, and therefore shoudl be ignored by reviewers. "
- Isn't this a paradox? How can you agree to reward them and ignore them at the same time?
EDIT: You further contradict yourself when you freely admit to graphics enhancing your enjoyment but then state that they're irrelevant.
