SEGA did not send any review copies out. IGN and Destructoid had to purchase their own. Expect that to have a negative impact.

Well it should have...

...wut? Why should that have an impact on the score? 

PS: OP should probably edit the title to say that it is only the user score

Because they are delaying the review for people who want to buy the game, but want to see the reviews first... Whats the point of reviews after the game is released these days?
