I guess the title should have been
"Is GTA IV being hailed as the greatest thing since sliced bread because it is not Nintendo"
(My question is whether it is being super-over-praised when it only deserves great praise.)

@BCNR34
Are you saying that there are 10 flames for every praise of GTA IV?
(And 3 praises for every flame of Nintendo games?)

I am not sure that I am seeing the GTA IV flames -- which is why I asked.

this is absurd, gta's praise, along with any other game, whether r&c, uncharted, halo 3, cod4, bioshock, oblivion, RSV, or any other future great game like mgs4, re5, gt5, GOW3, GoW2, Halo 17, etc that will NEVER grace any N console has not received and will not receive any of their rating's just to spite the wii. how narrow minded could you possibly be?ALL of these games stand on their own merit... as far as i'm concerned, VERY FEW N games make the grade any more. if i grab up my brother's wii i'd much rather be playing RE4 than SMG, sorry. wii is NOT the be all, end all of gaming, sorry, go stroke yourself to some other illusion.

 

@final-fan, what the hell does mkwii have that mk64 didn't???
