"Everything's fixed, but the magic's still missing. What's this magic, you ask? Well, we don't know. It's just, well, magic. MAGIC LOL. We're not paid to actually know what we're talking about and give a detailed analysis of the game; we're not experts! We just give a non-critical summary of the game containing information that anyone playing the game would know about, anyway. So, yeah, this game gets a 6.5 out of 10, for reasons we're not exactly sure why." ~IGN, philistine anti-critics

The reasons were dispersed throughout the review... "for the bulk of my playing time, I mostly held right on the stick, pressed jump every once in a while" and "this is all just standard Sonic stuff" and "only a few hours' worth of enjoyment".
But I agree on the lack of detailed analysis. Apparently IGN doesn't expect much from reviews of $15 games.
What I hate is how they gave the first episode a glowing review and Editors Choice. What a joke. http://ps3.ign.com/articles/112/1126789p1....

Yeah, no detailed analysis at all. Those "reasons" were a lousy attempt at turning what was essentially an extended summary into a review; I am certain they were an afterthought at BEST.
Also "Diablo 3 review-in-progress despite being a single-player non-MMO that could have been beaten 3 times by now with the 'review' being filled with tutorial and unnecessary hype"
