I've played most of the import so I can't speak for the dialogue, but I'd probably give it a upper 70's to mid 80's score. If you took away the FF7, this would not be getting as much recognition. Also, I hate how it was basically created to ''whore out'' FF7. The original is not made better by this 'compilation of FF7', each successive cash in only weakens its legacy. The only difference here is that it's a pretty good game.
G4 is probably trying to make a statement in that it doesn't deserve the higher scores its recieving (90 plus scores). That, or, they just really didn't like the game. Hate to break it to you, but in the real world, reviewers are pretty much always objective.
So get over it; if you like the game, a low score won't make it any worse, just like if you hate the game, a high score won't make you like it any more.
All that said, it is a really stupid score, I'd say 4.25/5. It's probably, like I said, out of hatred for FF7/fanboys.
