I think of it this way... no matter how good the game is, the reviewers still all own 360s and PS3s, and have all played CoD4, Gears2, KZ2, etc.

They won't be able to give it more than low 7s in good conscience, because they won't be able to see clearly through the fog of their own experiences.

I think a 71 (my earlier guesstimate) would mean its pretty darn good, and buyers, unless they own a HD console, will see it from the PS2 or Wii perspective, and will probably think highly of it, no matter what the reviews say.

Again, if that were the case, there is no way call of duty: world at war for the wii would have averaged an 83 or metroid prime 3 a 90 on gamerankings.

Also, Rockband 2 scored along the lines of the ps3 and 360 versions despite sound and graphic limitations. Madden 09 scored along the lines of the ps3 and 360 games despite being an 'all-play' title.

Then there are on-rail shooters (which, to be honest, is a fairly dated game play style) like house of the dead: overkill that were far better received on the wii then time crisis 4 was on the ps3.

I can't say the game will be a gem, but if it's great, it's great and next to no one will score it low just because.
