Although the answer should conceivably vary per game (since many have dozens...and dozens!...of levels), I believe if one spends enough time truly getting to know the game, that should be enough. Plus, if it's a challenge to venture all the way to the end, doesn't that speak well of the product? I personally wanted to "finish" Kangaroo when I was younger, but it probably just gets faster and more ridiculously difficult. Maybe on the last screen you can climb a long ladder without a monkey throwing anything at you. Wthether or not a reviewer should finish each game is a good question.

What's the point of someone teaching you a language if they don't really know it themselves?
