Odd, in the West it's generally the reverse. More or less honest words, boosted score. For example, the controversial review at Gamepot for Kane and Lynch was very negative, yet it still scored 7.5.
The reason for boosting numbers rather than in words is simple, lying or exaggerating in reviews will be more easily caught by readers than a slight boost to a subjective numeric representation of the games value.
A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.
