A trick I picked up several years, I forget from who exactly, on evaluating a game, was to examine the character sheet. This will tell you a lot about how well the game was done. Now, it matters less and less the bigger the organization is that produces the game, because a big group can happen to farm out the character sheet to an intern at the last minute -- or worse, design it by committee -- for a game that is better than the sheet. But I remember thinking when I first read that idea that it was a good thing for D&D that it had brand loyalty, because if it had to live and die by that standard, it wouldn't have made it for long.
Yes, you are right! One of the first things that I look at when evaluating a new game is the character sheet.
