Review scores aren't really a factor for me personally; I was already sold on the game, and I've enjoyed enough games with mixed reviews and hated enough games with Metacritic scores in the 90s to not put too much stock in what reviewers think.

The only reason I’m concerned with review scores is just how they will affect the sales of the game. But I’m with you on that. Many Wii games had terrible reviews but I still found a lot of enjoyment from them. Obviously you have to overlook some elements when it comes to bad games, like loading times, glitchy areas, bad story, etc, but as long as the core gameplay is enjoyable those things can be looked past. 

Yeah I really liked plenty of Wii games in the "yellow" Meta category; Disney Epic Mickey, Pandora's Tower, Excite Truck, Medal of Honor Heroes 2, etc.

On the other hand, GTA4 has a 98 on Metacritic and I found it a complete bore.

Still, Dread seems to be scoring well, so hopefully they'll be no negative effect on sales.
