well, SSB:M was given a much-too-high score. the guys at cube.ign.com seem to give out scores based almost solely on fun factor.
My standards are quite different.
In order for a game to get a 9.5+, it has to have:
-the best graphics on the system:
---AMAZING animation
---60fps, solid
---beautiful art style
---great special effects
-a compelling storyline
-unmatched control
-addictive gameplay
-very good lasting appeal
People in the industry throw out 9.0's like they were nothing...One review I did like was Gamespot's Ratchet and Clank review. a 9.0 overall and they had literally nothing bad to say about the game. To that reviewer, a 9.0 is a really GREAT score. Unfortunately, most reviewers think 9.5+ is a really GREAT score, as opposed to an unbelievably TREMENDOUS score.
What did cube.ign give Super Mario Sunshine? 9.2 or something? And SSB:M a 9.6? That being said, I doubt Zelda: WW is the earth-shatterer that most think it will be...
