The gave gaming publications a tonne of time in the game, in addition to all the betas and alpha.

At the end of the day, whether the game is good or bad, it was never going to be possible to comprehensively review it without a viable population on a real-world server.

It would be if you give review copies to like 100-200 reviewers and let them play at the same time (final build of game, not beta's with missing content), and told a few of them to group up.

So this was embargo'd until day one?
I mean some people are already playing this, and there are still no reviews?

^ usually doesnt happend, if a developer is secure in its ability to gain good review scores.
MS might not be expecting such good reviews (and not wanting to to tank pre-orders/early adopters).
