75 on its own is not a critical failure, however; the budget size, lengthy development, reputation of the developers and incredible hype make this a critical failure compared to expectations.
I've not personally been hyped for this title at all since I never enjoyed Halo and I felt that the gameplay looked sort of bland and like the kind that is not for me; I did not expect the scores to be this "low" though.
This is the great weakness of today's review system and gaming industry (in regards to reviews); the hype often ends up overshadowing the quality of the product itself and expectations are often way too high, leading what are actually decent or even good scores, to be considered low and paltry.
