Zelda, GTA4 and SMG are 97% games.

MGS4 will stabilize at 93% long-term.

The difference is huge, because those last % are very hard to get.

MGS4 won't even beat Halo 3...

Halo on metacritic 94

MGS4 on metacritic 94

Both has the same score

 

 

Gamerankings is the site that counts, lol. At least to internet fanboys like myself. Metacritic just kinda averages around a 100 system. Gamerankings with it's 99.9 type system allows for 1000 possible variations on the review scores.

If your cherrypicking review scores, use metacritic, if your game really has the score to brag about, it's gamerankings that you'll tout.

Gamerankings are quck to put every 8 score but forgot about countless 10s and 9.5s. Over all average is 96-97 which is great.

Gamerankings only averages the reviews from the most respected sites, aka the Cream of the Crop reviews, same with Metacritic. Many, like most reviews from the N4G talking point, are just on gamerankings and metacritic for show. The true averages needed to compete with OOT, SMG, and GTAIV, are quite unbelievably high. In other words, can't start off with a couple of 8's from Edge and Eurogamer and end up with a 97+ it has just never happened.
