1 - Done in every single game of it's genre, nothing innovative here. Very few games get a 1. Examples, Madden NFL 2004 (not 2005) and Flight Simulator 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005.
2 - Some new content, very small, still below average. Examples: Madden NFL 2005 with create a fan, and Command and Conquer Generals with a weird time set around 2025.
3 - Maybe a twist as in Sudeki when you go in first person for ranged weapons.
4 - Pretty nice. Like Doom 3, good concept, but it has been done before. And it's twist is its on Mars. Halo is also a good examples. Aliens invade earth. However a ring is formed around earth and humans have bred super-soldiers called spartans. You get my drift?
5 - Totally original and compelling. Say, Pa Rappa Da Rappa, The Sims, Animal Crossing, Pikmin, Dance Dance Revolution, Luigi's Mansion, you get the drift. Mostly Nintendo games.
Gameplay - 4 out of 5 - Standard. Would have been a 5 if
it had vehicle combat. Wow, that sounds satisfying.
