Galaxy, Brawl, Kart, MP3, etc all had flaws. I don't see reviewers ignoring flaws.
As others have said, GTA has always scored well. I suppose back then it was a bias against the Xbox and they just didn't drop the score a lot when it was ported.
This is the first GTA with multiplayer...16 players online...that's huge. It seems to have a great story, and that's something most Nintendo games don't have.
Just accept that GTA is a highly LOVED game and it has nothing to do with any particular bias. If a game is good is generally scores high. We all have our opinions but there are geneally very legit reasons for scoring a game high.
I played Gears of War today, and although I prefer Resistance still, I can see why it scored highly at the time. The only game in recent memory that scored highly that I didn't like was Zack and Wiki, but everyone else seems to like it.
But oh well, there are always haters...
