The point that this topic raises for me is that you can't judge a game based on a review score.  I never look at the score until I'm done reading the review, so that I can see what the reviewer liked and disliked about the game before I get it condensed down to one number.  A graphics score of 4.0 out of 10 doesn't tell you much.  If it uses low-res textures and simplistic models, but runs at a solid 60 fps like F-Zero X, I'm fine with that.  If it looks like crap and runs at a low framerate that interferes with the motion controls like Red Steel, I'm not fine with it.  You have to look past the number and decide for yourself if you think the plusses outweigh the minuses.
