If you want to decide between two similar games, in the same genre, with similar features, released on the same system, and that were released at a similar time review scores are very meaningful ...
At the same time reviewers are completely unable to adequately rate games that do not follow standard rules or approaches ...
Is a game like Halo a better game for you to buy than Brain Age because Halo has a better review score? Probably if you love First Person Shooters but if you dislike conventional games probably not.
