Final Fantasy XIII-2 gets 5.4 on Gamrreview - how is that possible?

I think it's unfair that the person who hated FF XIII so much was asked to review its sequel.

How so? He's a fan of the series in general, and Square promised that many of the things wrong with FFXIII would be fixed in the sequel. It also seems that for the first five hours or so, Square had in fact got it right and then everything went south.

The score seems a little harsh from where I'm sitting, but I don't think it seems unjustified.

The important thing to note is the little text below the score that says "Mediocre". FFXIII-2 is not a terrible game, it's simply average, with the high points being balanced out by the low points, going by the review

....The reviewer pretty much bashed FF XIII and many who liked it. I am not really defending the game, the choice of the reviewer was very peculiar.
