Well GTAIV scored high because of brand recognition but most people don't like the game. That just goes to show the power of brand recognition.
It's hard to tell because MC can be really unreliable. Take Fight Night Round 4 for example. PSM scored it 100% (or at least meta interpreted it that way) and the highest rating for a 360 mag was like 80 something when clearly both the games are pretty identical. Not a 20 point difference in quality/gameplay/graphics/etc. One review can sway it all. A lot of games sit at 89 and not 90 because of 1 random site review.
