I replied to a guy on Miiverse who had COD Ghosts on order, but was going to return it without playing it after seeing 3/10 on the meta user reviews. I pointed out that the clue was in the title "user reviews" and would most likely be people trolling. Thankfully he took my advice and is now loving the game, he actually thanked me which is nice.
Personally i think review scores should be abolished, the reviewer should do a written review of his/her opinions then instead of a scoring system do a pros and cons list. This will allow us to make our own minds up if a game is worth purchasing. I had a massive gripe over the inconsistent review scores of Sonic lost world recently, there was no consistentcy in the scoring.
