I don't give a shit about scores in general, I do however take notice when something doesn't seem quite right, like when something is said that we know to be blatantly false or when a game gets slammed because it isn't what the reviewer wanted it to be. The American IGN site giving Football Manager 2009 2/10 because the reviewer completely missed the point of the game is the classic example I always point towards, but thankfully that review was eventually rescinded.
The problem is that those kind of inconsistencies generally don't pop up in high scoring reviews, and so a legitimate problem will get lost in a cloud of hate focused entirely on the score.
