PA doesn't review games, at best they give impressions much like most of this forum. Occassionally they take the time to point out the things that the rest of the media seems to gloss over or ignore entirely.
I'm not sure how the argument that you'd rather play a well-crafted game over a more-fun one actually makes sense. Say you have more fun playing GTA4 if anything, otherwise it's just a stupid statement.
And reviewers are often wrong about games. They review games based on what they want them to be, not based on what they are. GTA4 happens to fit that mold perfectly. But GTA3 and the like were pretty much universally acclaimed anyway, so the fact that so much more went into GTA4 while keeping everything else the same pretty much guaranteed that everyone would have to give it 10's to remain consistent.
Just keep in mind that Ocarina of Time got a lot of the same acclaim and it didn't help the N64 any against the PS1, and *that* was an exclusive game. ;>
