Ugh. Another ten?

Meh. This only solidifies my opinion of game reviewers.
I dont remember that it was this much complaining about all the perfect scores Galaxy got.


Well, out of the past few games that received tens (SMG, SBBB, Halo, BioShock), do you know how many I think deserved it?

Maybe Galaxy. That's it. But if it was left up to me, none of those games would receive a perfect score. Galaxy has its own issues and they bug me enough to knock the game down a peg.

Halo 3 was Halo 2 with a glossier paint job. Some of the MP additions are great but there are still huge flaws in the game. Too bloody short, too.

BioShock was a dumbed-down System Shock 2. I wouldn't even have held that against it too much if it wouldn't have taken a great six hours of story and shat all over itself in the last 3.

Galaxy's camera is buggered. The story is typical Nintendo-mute. Multi-player is boooooooring.

SSBB... Well, I'm just not a fighting fan. We'll leave it at that.


 I agree, the only game that I've ever played that I feel deserved a 10 then, and deserves a 10 still to this day is Zelda OOT.  Nothing has come close .

All of the games listed above are definitely not 10.  And i'm sorry but how can so many developers be so two sided, for Nintendo games they crucify them for little technical hitches or issues, but for GTAIV they are 'excusable' because it's 'expected of a rockstar / gta game'?

I don't care if the reviewers think it's a great game, but FFS have some consistancy.  Just because the core elements, story and implementation of the game are perfect (yes i'll agree the city and story for GTA are almost perfect) the most important elements such as GAMEPLAY are no perfect and should dock the score.

- Climbing up ladders is a pain in the arse.
- The cover system is clunky and has killed me many times.

That said, I'm having the most fun in GTAIV than I have from many games for a lot of time recently.  It's simply an amazing game, but the technical issues in graphics and gameplay glitches and problems simply do no warrant a 10 for this game.
