I don't really understand why there's all this argument and so many posts about one lone review.

It's just one review, and it's still a reasonably good review. If it was a trend then perhaps there's some argument to be drawn but with the game coming out in a week, then why not just wait and see more?

At any rate it's far from over for the game, and it's far from the end of the Wii U. Different people have different tastes and taking one lone review (or four, given how Famitsu works), whilst it's all we have, doesn't make a lot of sense to me when we can get a load more feedback and opinions in a week.

It got ridiculous, because Puzzle&Dragons got such an irreal good score. Not saying that is wrong, I'm waiting for P&D to release here (although I may prefer Z, but we europeans get both games for the price of one). But surely western reviewers will not rate P&D at 90.

That's true, but at the same time it's tough to use the score for a game which is from a completely different genre and thus, has different "criteria" to fulfil, as any sort of metric from a single publication. 

And as you say it's very unlikely that P&D will do so well in the West (though that's another matter altogether), so let's see rather than going crazy and burning our Riki plushies.
