Reviewers could do that, but they feel that 2 hours worth of play isn't a very good basis for review, and I agree with them. But I think they have decided that publishing a late review to comply with a crappy embargo is a bigger evil than a rushed review with no advanced copy. It is best for the reviewers and the consumers if they get advanced review copies with a good embargo are allowed to publish in time to inform us before the launch, and that is usually what we get when the game is good and the publisher expects positive reviews.
