When a game has a review score in the low 70's it tells me a few things.

1. The game probably doesn't have bugs or huge faults which will detract too much from the desired experience presented.

2. It is a game that some people like a lot and other people don't like much at all.

So yeah, I don't mind a score in the 70's for a game I know will be love/hate depending on the reviewers value placed on the gameplay. Anything lower, and I read for the objective faults (bugs, poor controls, etc.) Anything more and I'll consider a game in a genre which I'm not a big fan of, but might want to get into.

I agree. The style of this game (graphics and gameplay) is hit or miss. I love it, but can see why other don't. The fact that there's no bugs that make the game unplayable is the only convincing I needed to give it a go...
