Every game has flaws, though. A 10/10 just means the game is that good compared to everything else out. |
It depends on the reviewer. For a reviewer like Play!, a 10 could be looked on in that sense. They through out tens fairly often, and an really good game will usually get a 10.
But for a site like IGN or GameSpot? Tens are MUCH harder to come by.
Sites like these giving GTAIV a ten is comparable to GameSpot giving the ps2 version of THPS3 a 10 back in 2001, imo. Sure, the game was truly awesome back in the day, but in a few years people were thinking, "What the hell?"
Though obviously GTAIV will hold up much better than THPS3 did.
