I think most people who read reviews aren't really expecting to read about the newbie experience. While I agree that someone's first impression is developed in 10 hours of gameplay (which isn't unimportant), I'd hardly call that a "review" of the game. Why not call it what it is, "first impressions".

If I were reading a review, finding out that the area descriptions are properly written and what newbies can expect are low on my priority list. Sure, it's not superfluous information and I wouldn't discount reading about it, but to me a "review" should be more indepth than that.
