I just get the impression from IGN's review that they both don't respect their audience and think that they need to make it simple and off topic for people to want to read the review... not true or appreciated...
And the fact that Gamespot's reads more like an essay and doesn't stoop to infantile humor, insulting the audience, glossing over details to make it simpler, and the unprofessional and excessive amounts of the review unrelated to the game are all very good things.
And I'd consider this a textbook case of why Gamespot's reviews are higher quality and many times more professional than IGN. Gamespot reads like a article from a magazine about a game. IGN reads like a article on a fansite about a game... it just doesn't have that same level of quality or polish... whether I disagree with Gamespot or not, they almost always have the reviews done very well so even if I do disagree with their conclusions, they are well presented... IGN CAN do that, but they sure don't do it very often.
