Hmm. Depends how accurate the leaks were, whether or not they were taken out of context, and whether or not there's much more to the game and story that means it can be overlooked. I haven't actually read the leaks though, I'm determined to go in totally blind and make my own judgement on this one.

Also a chance that it plays well enough for storyline criticisms to take a back seat in the review score? Sort of a, "The story didn't go how I would have liked, but the game is excellent". Unless the plot is full of holes, largely absent, or the voice acting is terrible... I don't think a good reviewer can base their score on storyline TOO heavily. It's far too subjective a measure to be like "A technical masterpiece, pinnacle of the genre for gameplay, perfect moment-to-moment action... But I didn't like the story so 75%"
