I always read from both ends of the review spectrum, to try to get the full range of opinions and see who I think I agree with, but I would say that having a high volume of reviews is generally reassuring, even if the score is mediocre.
However good you actually are, getting seen is the real problem in a flooded market like this. Gaming the review system might be one dishonest way to get that done, and seems to have worked for Locke.
