I've seen a lot of game reviews in my lifetime. I always thought the review criteria was based off of, story, gameplay, and presentation. I never really took the time to think there would be more to rating a game then this. I understand now even with this GameFlow criteria there can always be more added in to better rate and place a game in a certain genre. It's only used as a type of basic mode of measurements for a game in a way. Also the idea of rating a video game is really maybe one of the most in depth rating systems we have. Consider movies for example it doesn't have this need for control and concentration. Movies need only to rely on grepping story and interesting plot twists. Don't get me wrong am not saying video games are superior then movies, all am saying we need to put a lot more effort into making a really top grade game. One game keeps coming to mind when think of user based experience with video games. Bioshock Infinite, i've played this game recently, and i found it such an amazing experience playing through this great storyline with interesting characters. These characters which become a lot more believable when playing as the main character in the story. It's quiet amazing because this experience wouldn't have been the same if it were made into a movie or film.
