I think the issue is that hyped mainstream games have a free pass for good reviews as long as they meet expectations to a certain degree. To me, reviews scores are standardized to the point where they have little to no meaning, every reviewer seems to follow the other reviewers lead. Simply put, there are few reviewers that deviate considerably from the general consensus of the game.
That said, OOT averaging 97s back when it was released is far more significant than GTA4 averaging 98-99 now.
