Yea seriously, how do they score this?

I thought that it would have been straightforward (8.5 + 8.5 + 8.5 + 6.0 + 6.0)/5 = 7.5

I mean, wouldn't that be fair? What am I not seeing here?

It would'nt be a true reflection on the quality of a game. With all games, gameplay carries more weight than graphics and presentation. A game could have breathtaking visuals but if the gameplay is poor/fraustating your not gonna enjoy i.

Sorry but for me a game reviews is a game review and a personal opinion IS a personal opinion. They are two diferent things, or I will give a ZERO for a game that I don't like and this will be a review and not a personal opinion. Like some Wii reviews in GameSpot and Giant Bomb becuase the games have "party" or "family" in the name.

....I think you should look up the meaning for Review....

 

The pertinent definition of the word (from http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/review). 

6a: a critical evaluation (as of a book or play)

Note that it DOES not say personal opinion for all those who have said that a review is personal opinion.  Opinion enters into it ... but that is not what it is all about.

Reviews these days as as much reviews as Michael Pachter's writings are analysis.

"tedious backtracking'
"half a dozen hours"

something doesn't compute there... how can something the backtracking be so long if the game is so short?

According to all player reviews I have read so far, the backtracking is not so tedious AND no way the game is 6 hours...

While I agree that to each his own, this review strangely reminds me of Bozon's Reflex review (which had some obvious errors in it).

Granted not everybody who plays it falls in love, but from what I have read so far from players (here and in otehr sites) I think this is going to be one of these games where the player review average and the critic review average are going to be VERY far apart.

Well, start with firing Cassama-ass first (since he's the one who wrote this review), and their quality should at least triple. (Of course, given how low it is, this isn't saying much.) But yeah, IGN's nothing more than a shell of their old days, wishing they still had the relevance that they used to have.
