Wonderful 101 and Kid Icarus Uprising are two very poorly reviewed games that the reviewers simply didn't spend enough time to learn. I'm sure it's not an easy job, but I don't think those games deserved to get trashed by the critics.
Vanquish is another one with reviews all over the road. Some reviewers just didn't "get it" and described the gameplay wrong. You could tell they just played it as a cover shooter like Gears of War.
So I sort of do agree that critics should at least spend more time with games before reviewing them. Sometimes, a few days with the game isn't enough time to properly experiment with it. But, it's unrealistic to expect them to spend weeks with each game. So it's a problem with no solution in my opinion.
