It always makes me chuckle a bit when I see this complaint. It's not like the first four episodes had a second opening that promised "No Knox, No Dine", etc. The only thing the games themselves promised was a battle between logic realistic explanations and magic fantasy explanations.
It wasn't until Chiru that they started trying to follow classic mystery rules, yet that's when everyone says it stopped doing so. 1-4 is far less structured and fair than 5-8.
