If GTA4 isn't a 10/10 game, why did it get reviews like it did?

Alot of games this generation are over rated critically. The best thing to do is judge yourself. Don't let someone else think for you.

The point of reviews is to have someone else walk through the game, and tell me if it worth my time and money.  That is what I trust reviewers for.

As far as the game went, I found it ehh on the fun scale, but thought they did trying to do high production quality.  It just wasn't fun for me.  I can't give it a 10/10.  Nico and his brother didn't seem to have fun lives.  They seemed to have lives that were a mess to me, and it didn't feel like fun, to me... I actually got it because I thought multiplayer would be fun on it.

I started to not listen to reviews when reviewers told me that one of my favorite game this gen was a huge pile of dog shit.
