Reviewers had the access media problem, it was discussed at length on the 1-up podcast. They can't be trusted, especially on AAA titles or they risk being shut out of preview copies on the next releases, which is bad for business. I just wait for user reviews, after a couple of weeks for the hype to die down and people to actually spend some time in it, then I generally look at the worse reviews first. Unless there's a compelling reason to have a game immediately (like its primarily online and all my friends are playing it), its better to be a patient gamer.
