I dont think Evolution would have knowingly released an unplayable game. Yip issues at launch but they have fixed nearly all of these and added a tonne to the game too.
My issue is that If John Doe came along wanting to find out about DC and looks on the main game review sites he will read poor reviews written a couple of months ago with none of them saying what the actual game today is like. John Doe will in all honesty stay away. Its a shame because the game today is working, is good, incredibly beautiful to watch (esp with the weather pack) and is pretty much stable. So why should developers put in all the hard work fixing these games making them right if the reviewers who pretty much advertise/market the games cant be bothered to actually tell the general public what the current state of the games are. Yes the developers let themselves down at launch but If anything these reviewers are costing the company future sales dollars by not informing the public on what its currently like.
Personallly i think the review system is broken and needs a complete overhaul. I think there is a case for getting rid of scores and replacing them with a more general description of the game and how it plays rather than saying GAME A is a 8/10, Game B is 5/10 etc. Let the public draw their own conclusions from the review article.
