I disagree entirely with everything you have said here.
the 'you can't play game mode X because you haven't played game mode Y yet' model of games is one I hate with a passion, some people do not have the time to slug through one mode just to unlock the one they want, it is overly restrictive.
though I do admit that being hit with too many options first time you play can be daunting, for this a 'recommended' starting mode could be displayed.
