What rattles me is your lack of punctuation, commas, and capital letters, if I've misunderstood anything in your post. The reader shouldn't have to descipher where one sentence ends and another begins. If there's been any misunderstanding, then don't blame me and start typing like a normal person.
Now you're saying "at least have the reviewer get acquainted with the prior version", but before you simply said "or the reviewer can play both versions to see how they compare".
Unless you specify otherwise, when you talk about a reviewer playing a game, people will assume you mean the full game. A reviewer only playing a small portion of a game before a review is never assumed and rather unheard of. But regarding that, if the differences in the new version are many and spread out throughout the entire game, then there would be little point in only "getting aquainted" with the other version. Persona 3: FES for example has so many differences spread out throughout the whole game, not to mention a second story that takes place after the events of the first game, that an opinion from a reviewer that hasn't played the whole thing would be rather pointless if you're looking for an accurate comparison.

Either way, there's no way to guarantee that the previous reviewer can get involved in the new review for a number of reasons. As for playing a portion of the other versions, besides getting complaints from readers about lack of accuracy, it would not necessarily impact the review score in a coherent way either. As time passes, standards change. The superior versions of Resident Evil 4 with extra content recieved lower scores than the original Gamecube version even if the reviewer has played both versions.
It's better to not obsess over review scores, and focus on what matters. The context of the review. Like I said before, a 7/10 review can sound more appealing to you than a 9/10 review.
And this obviously is about fanbase as you specifically mentioned PS4/XBO. Not another WiiU game.

And a person who has never complained about a review score ever and is openly against review scores has possibly exposed themselves of being a person who complains about review scores when the roles are reversed? Sounds legit. But it's good to know your deductive prowess for future reference.

Really:

how about assigning a reviewer who has had a good playthrough of the prior versions for a more accurate review if someone different is doing it or the reviewer can play both versions

Not so hard to understand unless you possess some kind or reading difficulty or you're someone who is mentally not in a right state of mind, getting acquainted with a prior version, playing both games blah blah same thing kiddo the fact that your posts are reduced to trying their hardest to nitpick things that aren't even there highlight the level to which you're rattled, time to stop throwing the toys out your pram because right now you're fabricating issues to save face, man up.

So what if the differences are spread out, their job is to review the whole product for the consumer, should health and safety teams only partially test components in a car if it'll take too long? Should restaurants only lightly clean their premises because maintaining hygiene can take a lot of effort? That's a BS excuse if I've ever heard one. The GC version of RE4 is superior as it runs better, is better graphically and utilizes in game engine assets for cut scenes this is why the reviewers scored it better because the extra content didn't make up for the areas the PS2 version was inferior in.

Stop with your BS as I used the PS4/X1 versions of Watchdogs as an example as they're clearly superior to the Wii U version nothing was said about the userbases in specific you yourself are just one of the people I'm on about because you can't read posts clearly and only read between lines that aren't there, I suggest you learn to read as everything is punctuated just fine for you to understand the posts. Your attempt to save face on your rattled posts is amusing as you've some how read X1/PS4 version of Watchdogs as userbase which highlights you in your own mind are defensive and your garbage logic to keep pushing the notion that a userbase has been targeted shows you as a keyboard commando, if you're looking for a back and fourth exchange then just say as I'll give you just that.
