They use Story as a sub category for scoring for all their reviews. I don't see why the criteria should change depending on the game. Mario Party may have a shit story, but it could make up it score in presentation, gameplay and sound. I think that's fair.

Some games don't have stories. Are you saying story should be taken into consideration when giving a score to Tetris or Pac Man?

When a game doesn't have a story they cut out that category, but when one is presented (even if it is just a pretense at the beginning of the game to get into the gameplay) I think it's legitimate to score on it. And then how that score affects the overall would be based on how much they think the story for better or for worse affected the game as a whole.
edit: and if you look at the scores it was 5.5, 8.2 and 8.6 with an overall of 8.3 so it's obvious the story wasn't a huge part of the overall score.

still doesn't mean they should have it.
|
The game presented a story to them, should they just ignore it because it's bad?

What story? O_o it doesn't have one! , the minute you start the game this guy with a hat talks about the carnival and how much fun you are going to get by selecting gameplay modes in the menu and try to explain each gameplay type , thats not story!
