It was both that and the wide range (from, like, 9.5 to 3.0 or some shit on metacritic), but you're the first one to pick up on that bit.
Granted, I cherry-picked examples a bit, but the Gamestop review in particular seemed... bizarre to me. It shit on virtually ever aspect of the game, then ended with, "Eh, 4.5/10, I guess."
