Personally I think that's pretty unfair, but it happens more than is healthy.

Especially with the bigger ones, there's a risk that that happens, and we know from bitter experience that that can really ruin people's perceptions. DKS is a game for a certain target audience, and if it's reviewed outside of that target audience (like somebody comparing it to Halo 3), then it'll most likely be a bad review.

However, if it's reviewed within the context of its target audience, we can hope they'll be ok. At least, the initial signs are hopeful, but it's still early day.


I understand that, but honestly DK:S doesnt have any major bugs nor problems that a poor reviewer can pick on it and start bashing the game from there on end. D2 had a couple of bad reviews that were mainly based on technical issues and "lack of polishment", but trust me, DK:S has none of those...
