Actually, Amazon proved that user ratings work. The 1.5 / 5 is what it deserves. It is the one site that I trust user ratings as long as they have at least 20 votes. Spore has over 3000, and if you read them, many of the low scores (1/5) are well thought out.
For those using this to complain about metacritic and say gamerankings is better are not paying attention. People who give metacritic ratings, give those generated from professional critics. The user ratings on the site are sometimes nice, especially for wii games that tend to often be under rated or misunderstood by the "professionals". User rankings from metacritic are never given as evidence, except of fanboys...
