A bit high? a lot high.
The game, imo, deserves a mid to high 8, it does nothing new and takes away a lot of things that made the old GTA's fun.
The reason it gets hated is because of it's undeserved praise. It's kind of like if you are competing with another person and you know you are better than them, but they get all the awards and all the praise, you would be pissed right? same thing here, most gamers agree GTA 4 is not that great and pales in comparison to the PS2 games. Had GTA 4 received reasonable ratings no one would care.
