I don't think there is a proper way to review an MMO. Too many features, too many audiences. I mean, to me, this was a completely awesome and valid "review" of ARR (phase 3):
Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn–The (Mis)Adventures of a Complete MMORPG Noob

On-topic: I'll predict that, on average, review scores for ARR will be higher than scores for v1. That's not a cop-out, it's just that some reviews may focus on details (Skill Trees! Open World PvP! F2P! etc.) that matter only to a small portion of ARR's potential customers.
