I think it goes without saying that hype definitly plays a part in the score. Not to say it's a bad game. But if you have the successor of one of the biggest franchises in modern gaming, coming off its predecessor that sold millions upon millions of copies, do you really think a major publication like Edge would want to deal with the overwhelming backlash they would recieve if they scored the game a 7 or an 8?
Don't get me wrong, this looks like a solid game, and I'm sure I'll be spending countless hours with the multi. But at the same time, I have to take these mainstream gaming media reviews with a grain of salt.
