Do you think it`s possible to perceive when development was convoluted in a game?

Windwaker seems to be missing some dungeons at the end and Uncharted 3's story doesn't fit around the set pieces all that well, so even the best get inconsistent. Software development is convoluted by nature.
Better is to spot the few games that turn out consistent from start to finish. Erm, Tetris!
