I have an extremely difficult time trying to justify Dragon Age 2 having a 95/100 score. That is very near perfect. It's not the worst game in history but even setting aside play mechanics it was quite obviously rushed with few areas and much reuse of the ones that existed. No matter how I stretch my mind I just can't see how even the biggest fanboi can give it more than, say, an 80 and that's being generous.
I think it's reviews like that one that discredit gaming magazine reviews. Personally, I do not pay them any mind at all and wait to see what the community says on forums and also customer reviews on sites like Amazon and such.
