3D Mario games tend to avoid getting low scores though from much of anyone. Only Sunshine and 3D World got a couple scores below 80. The Galaxies and 64 don't have any below 90. A 3D Mario game is probably the only real possibility for a 98 in this day and age. |
With the amount of attention you can garner on the internet with controversy I'd say we'll never see a 98 in this day and age.
Also wouldn't rule out Jim Sterling walking back his 'over reviews' skit just to swoop in with a 5/10 after a few days.
And I honestly don't put as much blame on the certain reviewers as I do on Metacritic, who don't do a good enough job vetting the publications they allow to have official scores on their site. There needs to be a universal standard, considering how much importance people place on Metacritic nowadays.
At the very least, the reviewer should be capable of getting past the tutorial.
