Same feelings here, Grand Theft Auto 4 was good but it was no San Andreas.

10's all over the board. For basically its graphics. Because everything else was pretty much terrible.

I actually liked the graphics however

In it's own right it dererves the same score as MGS4....10/10.

it deserves around a 9.6-9.8...not a 10 though.

MGS4 however, deserves a straight up 10, first game imo since OoT.

I love the new graphics, the only thing is that I don't find it as fun to mess around with stuff in this one. I haven't cheated yet, so my view might be skewed. I usually like the stories, but I think all these missions are the exact same thing, 90 missions of killing and running away from people.

The real reason is why the hell did everyone score it perfect. Like what the hell were they smoking. The game was awesome for the first 5hrs tops after that i just wanted it to end asap.

GTA IV deserves a 4.5. I'm not joking.
That piece of crap game has horrible turning, camera angles, cars and a piss poor weapon selection. Where is the flamethrower?

The story is also pretty crappy and it didn't make me wonder what happens next like the last GTA's

Just like mgs 4 , gta 4 did not deserve a 10. Although gta 4 should rate higher than mgs 4 because it has more replay value.

I played through GTA IV once, saw both endings and never touched it since

I dont think the replay value was there

Yes.

To me this game was the perfect example of where the whole was greater than the sum of its parts.

Disagreed, I would give GTA a 8-8.5 MGS4 would probably get an 8.5-9, it's just a much better game. Usually GTA games have heaps of replay value, this one however, didn't :<

NWhat parts were there? There were basically 2 types of mssions, shoot and kill, or chase missions. The story sucked, graphics were good, but controls sucked. Money was absoloutly uselessl. Sub missions were useless. There weren't many sub missions. Transfer hookers, etc like in GTA SA. Can't buy property ie in GTA SA. Missions are sometimes long (20-30 minutes), and if you fail and lose the enemy you have to take 2 minutes to go back to where the mission is and restart the mission. The game was pretty bad.

No game deserves a 10.

I've seen you on the fourms everywhere today saying things like this when you don't comprehend what a 10 means. No one is saying that the game is perfect. It's about the quality of the game along with how much you enjoyed it. I bet you were the one kid who got mad when you got perfect scores on essays because "it's not perfect and it doesn't deserve a 10."
