I can define "completing a game" pretty easily actually. They have completed the game when they have accomplished the major objectives set by the game AND no longer feel an urge to play it on a semi-regular basis. Thats when someone has pretty much completed a game for most purposes. Although in some cases...like online only games...that could take a while so it might be unreasonable to review it. The reason I would use this standard is because that would be the point that a normal person would no longer be playing the game so they would then have the full perspective of the game that they are going to get.
Or a very good example of games you can't really complete would be Everquest, I would love to see someone review that game without at least dumping a year of their life into it. The review would sound completely n00bish to most of the people who still play on a regular basis unless the person really immersed themself in it. And even then I don't think a year of playing nightly is long enough to take in even half of the content....but MMOs are strange beast so different rules should probably apply.
