@yushire - Yeah some people put too much faith in reviews. Some imperfect games are extremely fun. I find if you read the reviews (usually 2-3) for a game, reviewers will usually said 'the game is fun, I really liked' etc but score it low for technical failings. Also I look at user reviews too when in doubt.

I'm definately getting NHL 09 for Wii cause by all accounts the controls work great and it's fun to play. However reviews are lousy and I refuse to pay full price when they aren't giving me a full package. The graphics are sub-par (even by Wii standards) and it lacks some features that it shouldn't really. But for $30 it'll be mine all mine!!

For Wii though look at all the poorly reviewed games that sell 1m+. Carnival Games and Game Party especially. Not very good and horrible reviews but obviously people are enjoying them enough to recommend to their friends. So you can't really say Wii owners pay too much attention to review scores.
