This should never happen. It's either a badly written review, or the score indicates too much arbitrary subjectivity (or both).
I like ratings, personally, but I only use them for their intended purpose - a sort of quick reference indicator of a reviewer's overall impression.
About AG's ratings, just remember that the stars represent
ranges. Even games with the same score are not identical in quality. If we used percentages, one game might get a 76% and another 84%, but still fall into the same star classification.
