Well, a lot of 'em kinda do that but it's different for each reviewer. I wish there was a universal rating system and that reviewers were regulated. I personally don't use reviews to figure out If want to buy a game or not. They are fast becoming irrevelevent in the today's gaming world. Giving such low scores like you mentioned to perfectly working games is sad and it discredits game reviews as a whole.

Yep, I agree.

I'm the first one who does not consider the final score of Meta; I bought KZ :SF, LBP3, The Evil Within, and I enjoyed all, though Meta was a bit low.

Do you think it's possible to go with a Petition suggesting a 'Universal Rating System' for Metacritic ?

Honestly, I don't know if it would help with it or not. If it didn't work then maybe boycotting the site might work. Metacritic also needs to stop taking any reviews from sites/magazines that have extreme reviews/scoring or show any overt bias for a certain length of time.
