The best review for me is a demo to try. No demo and I'm not going to dish out the bucks. Maybe years later when it's overcrowding the used racks. Reviewers don't know what games I've enjoyed. They don't know what I like about certain games and what I've disliked. Honestly, I've been rather disappointed in games in recent years that I did get without demos. I haven't finished a single XBox game, but have old PS2 and even PC games that I return to over and over (heck, I'm playing Caesar 3 *again*)
