According to game reviewers, every game has to redefine the genre or else its "Below Average". There are only 2 ways around this, hype up the game so much that everyone knows its the greatest thing ever (Call of Duty 4), or you can just pay for perfect 10's (Grand Theft Auto 4). I guess my point is game reviews are just unreliable no matter where you go, rent games if they look interesting to you.
