Reasonable on 10 November 2009
I think they're scoring for overall look, etc. Neither MW nor MW2 (or any CoD game actually) has represented the technical graphical peak of a generation. Uncharted 2 and KZ2 and Gears 2 are way ahead of the MW engine technically.
However, even allowing for overall look I couldn't agree with 10 out of 10 for the MW games. They are solid 8.5s graphically with clever level design making them look like a 9 (or a 10 if you get overexcited by the whole HUGENESS of their sales, which IGN seem to suffer from).
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
