Sooo they give MGS4 an 8 but an expansion pack/spin off gets a 9.

Seems right to me... if MGS3 got 8 Id be angry but not 4.

I'm sorry but I just can't respect them as reviewers, MGS4 is one of the best games ever and I don't think a game who is shorter and doesn't have as high production values can be better than it.

Because game length and pretty graphics are what really matters?

Reviews are opinons-- read into them whatever you want.

-edit-

Slightly on topic, but I do think the Halo series still has some of the ugliest face models this gen.  I watched the Game Trailers review this morning and just couldn't believe that they still looked that bad.

its cause bungie is still using their old Halo 2 engine that they also use on Halo 3.

you can also notice the animations are too outdated in the cutscenes, but i think they didn't want to build a new engine for this one, im betting they're going for it for Reach.

The animations and even every other aspect of the graphics (more in response to psrock there) don't bother me, it's just the face are so bad that it's distracting.  They looked fine on the Xbox, were just barely excusable on Halo 3 since you didn't have to see them often at all, but just judging from that review it looks like you see them all the time.  At this point in the generation there really just isn't an excuse for something that shitty looking.

The environments and the rest of the model is fine, just the faces look like last gen and its made even worse when they talk.
