I really don't think GTAIV is worthy of the scores

Yeah, it definitely doesn't deserve 10s. I mean, it may be great, but 10 is usually reserved for games that just can't get any better when they are released, and will probably still be great for years to come. GTAIV definitely doesn't pass the former, and the latter is debatable, imo.

I think it's still a AAA, though.

Every game has flaws, though. A 10/10 just means the game is that good compared to everything else out.

It depends on the reviewer.  For a reviewer like Play!, a 10 could be looked on in that sense.  They through out tens fairly often, and an really good game will usually get a 10.

But for a site like IGN or GameSpot?  Tens are MUCH harder to come by.  

Sites like these giving GTAIV a ten is comparable to GameSpot giving the ps2 version of THPS3 a 10 back in 2001, imo.  Sure, the game was truly awesome back in the day, but in a few years people were thinking, "What the hell?" 

Though obviously GTAIV will hold up much better than THPS3 did.
