Right now it has 93% on Metacritic with 5 reviews:
PSM Magazine - 95
GamerNode - 95
PSM3 Magazine UK - 93
GameTrailers - 90
Games Radar - 90

Some other reviews (mentioned in this thread but not included in Metacritic):
EGm - 8.5, 9.5, 9
Psx extreme - 9
Pro-G - 9

So we have 8 reviews and noone is lower than 9 (I assume that EGm score = 9). The game should end with rating close to 9, possilby a little higher.

Biased 1up gave it a 8.5 (Good) and finishes the review with

"After beating the game, I immediately started over in Challenge mode, and that's not something I'd be willing to do for just any platformer.

So don't get me wrong -- Future is a very good game. I guess I was just hoping for a great game. Maybe next time."

 

Seems the reviewer was pressed to keep it under 9.0. I wonder why :)

 1UP == Ziff Davis == "Games For Windows: The Official Magazine" == you now know why.  I haven't seen an EGM mag recently, but I'm sure it's full of PC/MS ads.  Why would they want to support the PS3?

Joe Rybrick was the author of that review, and used to be the Senior Editor of Official US PSM. 1UP bias confirmed

Oh, and the PS3s success really has little to do with games for windows. Ziff Davis needs all the cash they can get, and they sure as hell wouldn't turn down an advertisment based on some non-existent anti-PS3 agenda.
