I agree, game reviews are typically horribly written. Even an organization as big as IGN (especially IGN actually) write some terrible reviews. Its reads very much like an instruction manual: Story, graphics, sound, game play, conclusion. The writers are so bad at what they do. Their articles are rife with spelling and grammar errors, and the content of their review is just so mediocre, they miss out on essential elements in the game or brief over them. Like the example in the video "bosses are pretty cool though lack some polish". I went to the article and that is literally all the person said about the boss fights. That is so pathetic and inexcusable. But they get away with it, because their readers can be just as stupid and don't hold them accountable for their crummy reviews.
There are always arguments about the final score cause that is all gamers ever look at, but no one mentions a thing about the quality of the review and the content within the article.
I agree, movie reviews are far more entertaining to read than game reviews. Movie reviews seem to be written by critics that have a solid grasp of the English language and assume their readers share the same attribute. Game reviews are written by man-sized children who assume their audience is just as dumb as them. Frankly, it gets insulting at times, and I can't finish an article due to the poorly selected string of consonants and vowels.
