Points to hit:
Rules - This covers everything in the Rule book from setup to actually communicating what you are doing when you play.
Components - Every piece in the box, this also covers table presence, what does it look like when it is all laid out, how much real estate does it take up?
Play - How does the game play, is it smooth, what are the fun interactions, what does it encourage. Is it a stand alone mechanics rich experience, or a more puzzle oriented gaming session?
Theme - What does the title do with its theme, how does it use it to further the narrative of the game and provide atmosphere when playing.
