I really have to explain this again???? When you read a review of a Ford Fiesta, they compare it with other cars in it's class. They would never criticise it for not having the performance of a Porsche.
see previous point
It has everything to do with it. Peggle is a tiny little 2d game. When you have a limited budget and are making a massive TBS or RPG or something, you are stretching the limits of what you can do within that budget, so you have to prioritise. A sensible company bumps some things down the list, like a flashy interface or the kind of voice talent Rockstar Games has. If that's what is important to ALL gamers, then fine, but do you really think that is the case? The game experience on the whole is more important, so when that gets glossed over by a reviewer and yet they find the time to criticise these games for not having the big budget eye candy, then they deserve my criticism.
But that is exactly proving my point, these games are not intending to be in the Formula 1. They exist to serve their niche audiences which is hopefully enough to allow them to grow. So when some idiot compares them to a Formula 1 car they are putting them in a negative light with unnecessary and unfair comparisons.
They never did expect that. Again, you are going back to your assumptions which are consistently piss poor ones I have to say. The company you are talking about were successful and have at least doubled their money. That is in spite of a few reviewers treated them unfairly.
It's not crap at all. They doubled their money in no time and it was all thanks to word of mouth. You don't get that if your game is crap. I don't know what kind of state it's in today but I'm sure they have made enough to think about making a sequel, which is great news for gamers.
