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 agree with this a million percent.

GTA didn't feel like a 10 game, but MGS4 is one of the first games in a long, long time that I'd give a 10 too.

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. 


MGS4 has more replay value that GTA4 and i can say that with a straight face. You have people who have finished it like 6times already. I can't imaging replaying GTA ever

Lost Planet,Fifa,Growlanser,Wild Arms(not 3),Atelier Iris.Scarface,MASH,
Grandia 3,Soul Callibur 3,Genji 1 low scores.I thought those games deserved to
get the best scores.They did not.


I would certainly give GTA4 for the sheer effort,love and content that they put
into this game.Very few other games can provide with so much fun and diversity.

oh and don't forget the lack of awesome cheats like flying cars........


Yea thats the only thing that seperates me from giving this game a 10 so it gets a 9.5... Im going through this game for the 2nd time and played for 67 hrs.( Probably 100 bcuz i dont save it when i go on rampages)...But the game would be perfect if it had alot of cheats, It would be cool walking around as Hulk Hogan or George Bush driving in a golf cart down 42nd street in boxers , those are the things that make you break night with a friend just playing the game 

Also wouldve been nice if they had big time casinos and im talking $100,000 games of poker and dice

The first 5-10 hours of the game was outstanding, that is until I got out of Bohan and it became a derivative bastard child of all the GTAs before it.

Missions essentially boiled down to going to some kind of building or apartment complex, killing a guy, escaping, and then placing a call on the phone to say you're done. Other than that were the chase missions which became lame because I STILL hate the driving physics. There were only two standout missions for me, which was obviously the robbery and the kidnapping mission because she screwed with the steering wheel and caused me to flip my car like 3 times. The robbery mission paled when I went back and played San Andreas and realized that the heist in that game was far superior and it had a better setup to it.

San Andreas set the bar high for the series, which was quite apparent when I went back to play it after completing GTA4 and brought up my stats. Wow I missed those, character growth was thrown completely out of the window and for whatever reason the clothing stores were on par with clothing in Vice City (a step back). I get that they were trying to take away SOME of the things from San Andreas to "streamline" them as far as Niko is concerned, but hell man they took away nearly everything.

Also there were some things with the "good" ending that didn't sit well with me. Reviewers were saying that the game requires 2 complete playthroughs to see everything, no it doesn't. Make 2 save files near the end of the game and you can see both endings.

Let's not forget how stupid shooting the pidgeons are, WHAT THE HELL PURPOSE DO THEY SERVE? Oh yay getting 100%. Do they give me extra weapons? Money? Armor? Stamina? "No" you say? Then what the hell man, the packages, grafitti, clams, horeshoes, and other crap from the past GTAs all gave you something in return for going to collection hunts other than a percentage rating. In their quest for realism they stripped GTA of its charm, soul, and over the top fun. I do know what I'm talking about since I've been playing GTA since it was started, and I USED to own them all until I traded this one back in (yes even the London Expansion).

I was utterly disappointed with GTA4 and I'm glad I got 42 bucks for it from Gamestop, which was pretty surprising because I was about to Ebay it for 45. I'm actually looking FORWARD to Saint's Row 2 now.

Status: offline 		I say yes.  Of all the PS3 games i have so far this is the best.  I dont have MGS4 yet, but thats the only game currenty out that i think is probably better than GTA.  It is fun when bored to just go on a rampage and just kill cops and poor bystanders.  I enjoy driving on sidewalks to kill people and watch them fly.  Sometims, i shoot someone in the knee.  when they get up, i shoot them again.  this provides endless amusement.  It is also fun to take a grenade, walkl into a large group of people, and just set it off in my hand.  Even when not playing the story, you can have endless ammusement goofing off and kiling people.

I'll agree with that ^

it's a really good game though, i could see hardcore fans giving it a 10. i'm not a hardcore fan and still give it about a 9.

Low replay value, yeah. But on the upside the main story is nice and long.

Status: offline 		no it didnt but thats the unfortunate ride we all take as gamers.  nine out of ten times hype = high score.  we saw this recently with halo 3 as well... dont get me wrong, for the avid fan halo was what they wanted it to be but if it were the first in the series and new to us all it wouldnt have been near as high.  i think some of the same goes for metal gear solid, i feel that if it were not for the history of the game nobody would have tolerated the cut scenes, but since there was an underlying story that had to be told it was scored very well.....


lesson to be learned.... judge for yourself, form your own opinions and live n learn

    definitely. the story was really good and the characters were awesome. that's what kept me going. the ending could have been better, especially the dude you were hunting down.
    but yeah, it's still a great game in my books.
