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

[Barozi]

Problem is that everyone has a different defintion of what a review should actually do or rather what the reviewer should write about.

To me, a review is more than just one man's opinion. If it was, I wouldn't care one bit because we all know what a weird place the internet and its inhabitants is. (Not claiming that print reviews are different to online ones).
A review should inform people and judge its content in the most objective way possible and furthermore compare it to other games in an appropriate way (Comparing gameplay to other games in the same genre, graphics to other games on the same platform, etc.).
If you're supposed to write a review and dislike the whole genre or franchise, either skip it completely or rate it higher than what you actually think (because your own taste is in this case certainly not objective at all).
If you're a fan, don't give everything automatically a 9.0 etc.

Now this review is marked as being the "official VGC review". I'd agree that something like an average out of ... 3-5 or so staff members would definitely make it more official. However that means that the "main" reviewer would need to change parts of his review to give the correct impression of the score. And on the other hand it would certainly need more time to publish them when 5 members need to finish a game first (probably not enough review copies anyway, etc.)
Just saying that the VGC GOTY awards aren't made up by one writer either but being a product of a number of staff members.
