Forgive my ignorance, but is it customary for reviews to launch with a game, and not before?

For an mmo type game that wont work until they turn the servers on, yeah, that makes sense.  

A lot of games will send out early review copies to reviewers, and they will even have a small online window where they can try multiplayer.  However, I think it would be much harder to do that with destiny as everything would require online, and Im guessing the servers are a bit more sophisticated than a typical game...

which is why they didnt send out early review copies...

edit: so reviews wont actually launch with the game, but will come out well after launch...

Reviews won't start coming out well after launch, unless there are massive server problems or something like that.  Every publication will be falling over themselves to get theirs out among the first wave of reviews.

Any review that comes out before the weekend will be garbage because they wont have played everything in the game.  Destiny is supposed to take 20-30 hours just to beat the main story, let alone touch all the side missions, strike missions, raids, multiplayer, etc.  This isnt the type of game you throw in for a couple hours and write a review...
