they gave SA 9.9 n that game was full of bugs

I guess that they're giving MGS4 a 10.1 right?

j/k

@Leo-j

so your GTA Iv = Wii's DEATH prediction STILL ON??

 Honestly? 10 games are just asking to be called "flops" if it doesn't sell gazillion copies, I'd be perfectly happy with MGS4 getting 9.7 and sell 5 million copies.

 they even mention in the article its not perfect, and the reason they still gave it a perfect score:

Grand Theft Auto III was a revolutionary title, one that inspired a whole new generation of 3D action games. Grand Theft Auto IV is just as big a leap forward, though perhaps in subtler ways, and sets a new benchmark for open-world games. Everything in GTA IV works in harmony. The story would be nothing without the city; the city gains realism from the physics engine; the physics compliment the improved AI; the AI would make no sense without the new cover system. And on and on. There is no one major weak aspect.

A "10" is not a score we give out very often. In fact, the last time we gave a 10 to a console game was Soul Calibur in 1999. A 10 doesn't mean a game is perfect -- it means a game is pushing boundaries, expanding a genre, and doing many things to a level so far above and beyond its competitors that they overshadows any flaws. Certainly, GTA IV has some issues, the most noticeable being the occasional flaw in the cover system, but there are many more pieces of GTA IV that are better than anything I've seen from a game in the past decade. We don't give 10s often -- just to games that merit the score.

'Best game since Ocarina of Time'.

PS3 has less pop in, 360 has more frame rate issues and PS3 loads faster according to the review.

And people were worried about the PS3 version...

I'm thinking of switching to the PS3 version and upgrading to the limited Edition for the cover...

A 10.0 doesn't mean a perfect game... I thought everyone knew this already.

"The story is Oscar quality."

Am I the only one who giggled when they read this?

I'm having a tough time swallowing the rest of the review after that line.
