Where did you read that? Reviewers get a copy of the title much before the NDA is lifted. This ensures that they get sufficient time to do one complete playthrough of the game and publish the review after doing all the editing.
Not always. IGNs reviewers put in hrs before the review is put out, but they themselves admit that they have to rush through the games and put in "working hours". Specially when a review copy doesn't come to them. Plus for a huge game, they generally have a lot of inputs for wiki etc.
