How can you claim abuses to system just because a game was only rated 
by two people and those people gave it low scores.  I find this to be 
laughable that your oppinion is that just because the only ratings 
that have been issued were low therefore the system is at fault for 
allowing fraudulent scores by some"one" who must have it out for you.

Now this I do agree with, giving someone the chance to voice what 
they do or dont like about a game gives other players a chance to see 
whether they can accept certian features that someone else may not 
have liked (e.g.  3 piecepacks for reversi).  Also this gives a game 
designer the chance to see where other people find a game to fail or 
work, thus aiding them in future revisions or later games.
