Because the reviewer has played the whole game, and if he's good, learned to be objective when reviewing.
A game like God of War III, I would buy if it got bad reviews, because I know it's good. I've played the other three games, and loved all of them. Although no God of War has below 90 on Metacritic...
A game like Wanted: Weapons of Fate is different. I enjoyed the demo, but I know that a demo is not an accurate representation of the quality of a game. If it gets at least 8.5 from IGN, I might buy it, otherwise, I'll spend my money elsewhere, like on Valkyria Chronicles or Fallout 3.
