Well Metacritic accepted the review....

Yes, but that's one reason why I dislike Metacritic; they include reviews that are very poorly written. To be fair, let me show you another review that is far better than this one, but is a lower score as well.

This one gave a 7/10
I found that both reviews that gave less than a 7 weren't great, but the one you posted was the worst of the two. In general, I tend to use Metacritic to find a wide variety of reviews to read; not for the average since any average joe can get a review on there (so it would seem) and have it count towards the average. So, I read reviews for content and that one in particular is severely lacking in it.

Gamesradar's review was good as well.
7/10

I haven't read that one, but I wouldn't be surprised. My point is that I personally don't have a problem with lower scores (7 isn't bad in my book though), but I do have a problem with bad reviews. If that review had been a 10, and was written in the same manner, it would still be terrible. I remember reading a review for InFamous on a site somewhere that gave it a 10, and it was the most fanboyish, biased review I'd ever read. I'll try and find it again.
