So, come to think of it, I've basically come right back around to your restaurant critic analogy. Critics aren't rating games like Wii Sports on what they're trying to do, but this is so because their readers aren't ready for that separation. It'd be like the imagined effects of the very first extremely positive taco bar review. People reading it think that it's done in the style of previous reviews (that is, that the taco bar has the atmosphere of a five star french restaurant) and are severely disappointed in the reviewer when they get there.
