No. I'm just stating the facts, and the review system is not broken. GTA IV is better than all of the titles listed for Wii, 360, and PS3 that have lower Metacritic scores than it does with the possible exception of MGS4.
"It’s difficult to fathom how a virtual world of this magnitude comes together, let alone is made to function with all of the realism that today’s technology affords. GTA IV is to the current state of gaming what GTA III was back in 2001, only now, thanks to the advent of gaming as a fixture in American entertainment, more people than ever will get the opportunity to look beyond any residual controversy and enjoy the true spectacle of modern gaming at its finest."

"I admit that I have a bias, but I also like to think my appreciation of Kojima’s work puts me in a position to make a few blanket statements: MGS4 is the best game in the series, the best game Kojima has ever made, and also the best game yet to be released on “next-gen” platforms."

Note: Neither Grand Theft Auto IV or Metal Gear Solid 4 are available on the Nintendo Wii.
"I loved Gta and still do it´s a great game and one of the best this year but of you seriously think it desevs any of thoose scores with glitches and problems it has you are seriously deep in fanboymode and in need to be rescued, I hope someone around you can help you with that if not may you rest in peace my friend."
My most anticipated games: Whatever Hideo Kojima is going to do next, Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Gran Turismo 5, Alan Wake, Wii Sports Resort. Cave Story Wiiware.

So a game full of glitches and misstakes are worth perfect scores then I would like you to tell me what a game that is just as good and entertaining to play as GTA but without the problems that drags GTA down would deserv?
The game to play is worth perfect scores but the glitches should have dragged that game down to a 90, no game no mutter what system should get theese scores with that kind of problems.
As to Metal Gear I haven´t played it yet but I hope it´s as good as the scores it got and with out GTA´s problems.
Of course the review system is not broken it gave your favorite games perfect scores even though one of them is full of problems, that is a sign of a well balanced and fair review system.

I don't think the Wii will have a fantastic software fall tbh. This will not, however, stop the hardware sales from being bonkers.

Yeah tell me why glitches should drag GTA IV down to a 90 when games like Mass Effect, Gears of War, Mario Galaxy, and Halo 3 also have glitches and are overall inferior games to GTA IV that have higher Metacritic scores than 90.

Wii is doomed , just like it was killed by GTA IV, MGS 4, Sony's 10 year plan... poor wii. Why some people still cant deal with Nintendo success?
Facts are Games coming on to PS3 and 360 are great, but so are the titles coming on the nintendo consoles and the sales of software will still beat the other two. Hell Animal Crossing and Wii Music all toghether have potential to outsell all the big HD titles combined. (even if the dont get good reviews)
@Paul_Warren Note that: Mario Kart Wii is not available on PS360

I don’t usually bother to respond to nonsense but that statement is so incredibly absurd I couldn’t let it pass.
Go to our very own games section, set it for all platforms and then click the sales column to find the ten highest selling video games in history. Think they’re all PS2 since it was so fabulously successful? Not quite, the PS2 version of GTA San Andreas did manage to squeak in at #10. Positions 1-9 are all Nintendo games and those nine games alone sold over 240 MILLION copies.
Now let’s talk about this generation all time leading games. Both the Wii and the DS have games in the top ten. The Wii’s highest selling non-bundled game comes in at #18. The Xbox 360 shows up at #38 and the PS3’s highest seller doesn’t show up until #120.
Yea, I think they’ve done OK since the playing cards.

"Wii Music"
Nintendo still hasn't anwsered the question of why they expect millions of people to buy what is at best only going to the 3rd best music game on the market. It is a game that will be drastically inferior to the next installments in the Guitar Hero and Rockband series, so why were they so excited to show it off in such a fashion at E3? Were they so ****** that they thought it was going to be as big of an announcement as FFXIII coming to the 360? They should have unveiled Captain Rainbow instead. Rainbow may be a game that's going to get a review score no higher than an 8.5, but anything would have been better than the Wii Music unveil.

You seriously compare GTA´s huge glitches and problems with thoose games?
Thank you for showing me that you don´t live in reality and only see things as you wish them to be.
GTA is the best game i´ve played this year even better then MK and other Nintendo games (I know Nintendo fans will shoot me for this but sorry that´s how I feel) and should have perfect score for playability but the overall score should be lowered to the 90´s just because of the hughe problems it has.
Seriously ask your family and friends for help cause there is something seriously wrong with your logic and it might not be too late to save you yet.
You still haven´t answered my question or you avoided it, What should a game with the same playability graphics and funfactor but without the glitches and problems get as score if this is worth perfect scores?

Oh come on dude we that have been around since the first NES all know about Nintendo´s supersecret division of green and black berets soldiers that are going around and forcing people to buy Ninty´s products and that fact alone makes the actuall figures of Nintendo sales totaly irrelevant.
Besides Nintendo has wasted our gaming time with their pathetic attempts to create consoles, they could have at least contributed something to the industry and maybe even tried to be innovative once during this time.
