Well now that I played the game for a few hours, yes I do. I disagree with you on IGN reviews, I think everyone gives some games too much credit because of hype (MW2 with it's 4-5 hour campaign vs. Medal of Honor), you can't focus it on one source. IGN in gereral I found gave PS3 gaves over inflated reviews (Resistance 2 - 9.5?), and generally they let one or two people have too much power in judging the review score (Super Mario Galaxy 2 and GTA IV 10/10??).
Overall I found that their scores might not be the most repesentative of the reasoning, but their comments are solid. Reading their review, I see that all my concerns about the game have come back to dissapoint me, and I can see why they gave GT5 such a low score (GT1-4 got 9.5 or 9.8 scores, so you can't blaime hype).
Personally I feel the game deserves a little higher of a score, perhaps a 9/10 simply because the amount of content, but it's still full of disapointments.
I'm going to wait for IGN Europe and GameTrailers to make their reviews. Generally I find GT the most reasonable score-wise, but IGN explains the reasoning best.
