"I agree with everything, and might've written something like this myself if you hadn't. The most interesting view I saw was Andrew Fitch's review on Team Xbox. He gave the game I think the lowest score it's gotten, and, while I disagree, he makes a very good argument I think. But I also think his perspective is mostly irrelevant to most of the people who are going to play the game.
My biggest problem with the linearity argument is that I doubt that most of those people would stray from the path if they could. Sure, they say they like the illusion, but it seems like they'd recognise it was an illusion anyway, so I ulitmately don't see what they're trying to say. Either way, I'm 10 hours in and I'm loving it so far. Well worth the wait."

"hink Levine himself had it right when he said that 2k Marin need to put their own stamp on this. I don't mind returning to Rapture, but this visit needs to be distinctively different to the first one. I doubt that being a Big Daddy is what it"

Personally, I think that Nick's point is valid in this situation. This critic clearly hasn't done anywhere near enough research to claim to have any credibility, and you say as much yourself, so in direct relation to this situation I don't see any problems. No one ever pointed to BMX XXX as an example of art, and in that case I don't think you would gain anything from actually playing it. The reviews can quite likely do more than enough to communicate the experience of playing that game. However, in the first 10 minutes of playing Braid I could easily see what people meant when they said it had artistic merit. No matter how much discussion I heard about it, I still didn't entirely see the connections the game makes between it's gameplay, story, and even music. In that case, playing it was the best way to see how it could be seen as art.
I sort of didn't want to post this comment, as it quite clearly contradicts half of my point, but I do think it's an interesting topic, I'd just prefer people were approaching it in a different way."
