Reviewers are such a risky thing to buy a game over. One of the biggest problems reviewers have is that they use the same scale for every game that they rate.
Take any of the Wii games like Brain Training or Wii Sports. It is completely insane to judge these games the way several of them have been. Often times I find that the real problem with a Wii game is that they didn't include a great instruction manual. Which is my biggest quarrel with Wii Sports. But none of the review sites played it long enough to realize that these problems they were having were because of that.
Lets look at Calling all Cars. Another great game that because it was judged on a terrible scale was largely passed over by the reviewers. Which also led to many hilariously angry posts on Jaffes blog. My biggest problem would be that there are only 3 maps. A good solution to this would have been to release a map maker to the audience. Then charged people to have access to the downloadable maps. Ultimately though the game should have been judged on its multiplayer component.
