The problem with only looking at a rating is you're only getting a snapshot of someone's overall opinion. In the body of a review a reviewer might say things they think are good and things they think are bad that are the precise opposite of your personal preferences. This is why I tend to read more than one review (and read the text as well) so I can get a more rounded picture.
Whilst I'm not sure it's practical for EVERY game to have a demo (presumably there would be some more work in creating a separate but workable piece of game) I can see the value. A demo will practically demonstrate whether the game is for you or not. With a review you're relying on someone highlighting all the things that matter on your behalf.

A thread most controversial, that’s what I want to start
Full of impassioned arguments, of posting from the heart
And for this stimulation all will be thankful to me
On come on everybody it won’t work if you agree
