So Mark is bashing the game, because he sucks at platformers, or he doesn't like a challenge...yet challenging boss fights are on the plus side :D Gotcha...
From what I got, the main beef is the boring level design...
Because first of all, the scores are given as a gut feeling, so what matters more is what is written in the review, not the score itself...if the reviewer writes that something is boring and gives reasons for it, you might disagree with him, so the score itself won't be a precise indicator of the quality of the game for you...
Second of all, reviews are subjective...they mirror the tastes and expectations of the reviewer, which means that reviewing just serves the purpose of highlighting certain functionalities of the game, thanks to reviewers who got to play the game earlier...
Third, I come here to laugh at the comment section, while I'm having breaks :p...sometimes it's fun, sometimes I despair. :D Also, there are some fun shows here too.
I'm just laughing at your reliance on reviews :D But it must be comfortable to have someone think instead of you, and you just get a score and all is good...life sure is easy, haha
