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

Before anyone moans about the score they should remember the reviewer would have given FFXIII a 2/10 in his own words; so on his own level it reflects a drastic improvement from XIII.

The problem may be in giving him the review for the game.

Another thing is people need to see that the reviewer sees 5 as mediocre.

5 Isn't seen as "mediocre" by most people, its seen as "Terrible" while a 7 is the standard "mediocre mark" among reviewers. So I'm glad Runa is actually using a 0-10 scale rather than a 7-10 scale like most reviewers.

I would personally give FFXIII-2 a 9/10 (I'd have given FFXIII a 7). Better than any Final Fantasy since IX as far as I'm concerned, brought the fun back to the series. Now they just need to sort the writing out...big time.

WOW. Yet another reason to ignore this XIII-2 review. 

Call XII whatever you want but it in no way deserves a 2/10 or anything close to that.
This is a case of extreme reviewer bias. The game isn't going in the direction you want so you rate it really low despite the game being good.
