Actually, last year after several games had reviews that (essentially) said "The Wii version in this series is the best version so far" and still gave the game 20% to 25% lower scores than they gave the Gamecube version many people started to question the review system.
Certainly, many people did hype Mario Galaxy because of the high review score but a lot of these people started to question reviews after we saw several games in a row get reviews which were close to being the highest reviewed games of all time.
Grand Theft Auto 4 really drove the debate further than any other release primarily because of how many perfect scores it got, the many bugs and flaws it has, several people stating that it was a worse game than Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and reviewers admitting that they only played it for a couple of hours before reviewing it.

Huh like what?

From what I remember people were pretty upset that games like Metroid Prime 3, Fire Emblem and Battalion Wars 2 were claimed to be better than their Gamecube versions and yet all received noticeably lower scores ... Looking at Gamerankings today the scores do not seem that much lower, but the main sites were all scoring the games much lower and the aggregate review score was dramatically lower at the time.

Ah you can be right, I am prettysure I missed the FE and BW threads because I am not that interested in those games and I can't remember that MP3 issue aswell, the thing I remember though from IGN I think 'We wish all FPS games would play like that' ....but that is something we see a lot though. I think Saints ROW 2 is one of them aswell. a lot of reviewers claim it is a lot lot lot better than SR1 still they gave it a lower or the same score SR1 got.
