No game deserves a 10 because all of them have problems. How Gta4 and MGS4 got 10's and there online is terrible I would leave for you guys to decide. Like I said no game is perfect they all have problems but the great ones have smaler problems.

if perfection was taken that literally, the idea itself would not exist.

GTA4 a perfect 10 LOL.Never.Of course there are going to be the people out there that loved the game.But the whole realistic change,Crappy and predictable story,and weak activities made the game a huge letdown for me.Now I can admit there were moments in GTA4 that were really good,but sadly there was not enough of them.The multiplayer is great with friends cause you can just let loose and have fun making trouble all over the citiy.I would give the game a 5/10. The good The multiplayer Some parts of the story The graphics Some of the lines of dialog The Bad Everything else. Rent the game if you want to see for yourself.

No, GTA Vice City was great...had the best music....SanAndreas expanded on everything Vice City was except Vice City keeps the crown for music. SanAndreas recieves the title of best GTA. oh yeah....GTA4 did a 10 out of 10 job to halt the true GTA experience, which is what most gaming sites that gave it a 10 scored it on....it all makes sense now....

What's funny is that if you would have posted this right after it came out you would have gotten alot of support for the 10 score. I had even posted something about it not being a 10 game and got flamed to high heaven.

More on topic though it is a good game, not a 10 but a good game. I would probably rent it first. It's one of the few games that I've purchased but never finished.

It deserves a 10. For guys who state that Its not better than this or better than that game....c'mon...they dont rate the games VS. each other. The way I rate games is what It has IN the game, and GTA 4 is a soild game.

Solid game yes but I believe I have the right to compare GTA 4 to other games especially to past GTA games like I did. I don't think it deserved a 10.

I wouldnt say that you couldnt rate it vs. other games....but if your going to be fair, how can you sit down and mark off points because its doesnt have this like __________ game. Or if it doesnt have _________ like ________ game. I mean, thats just not how I rate the games. Personally I loved Vice City over all of the other GTA games..for my own personal reasons. But how can GTA 4 not be better than those other GTA games....its better in almost EVERY aspect. Better Graphics, It has Online, the things that you can do with it compaired to other games is crazy. Like you stated though, you have that right to believe whatever you want. I just dont see it.

You cant customize a car! The game is ok for the first 3 good days of playing but after that it is so boring if you dont play online. It is really nothing fun to do after u beat the story besides running from cops who appear out of nowhere and is hard to get away from.

I say this game deserve a 9.8, just because it is a great game, but if they added interior to all the buildings, and made the cops slightly better. This would deserve a 10. GTA IV is still a great game, people just stereotype it because everyone else does.

I liked San Andreas because it was large and involved so many aspects of criminal life. It had so much variety. One moment you could be burning a "Drug" field while another you could be stealing arms off a train while your car follows behind. I loved that and GTA 4 feels like it has less variety in missions and in landscape. Most of the missions are either escort missions or simple assassinations. Of course you could argue that Niko is a hitman for hire by nature but then I bring up the point that maybe he shouldn't have been designed as just a hitman for hire then. It doesn't seem like fun to me when I have to grind the same missions over and over again. Everything in GTA 4 looks like a city (Yeah I know it IS a city but everything is so same-y) and I liked how in SA there were deserts, cities, ghettos, Las Vegas, and forests. Honestly I feel like GTA 4 is a step back in the series. Sure it has better graphics and sound but all that does not equate to it being more fun or more enjoyable, at least to me anyway.

in my opinion SA beats it...it doesn't deserve a solid 10, more like a 8.5-9.0.

I found the game to be fantastic! The story has really sucked me in with it's brilliantly written plot and huge cast of likeable characters! But was it worthy of a ten? Probably not, but I think it still deserves a high review. San Andreas is the best out of the bunch, in my opinion. The gameplay itself was just so much more varied.

Is GTA4 worth a 10? The answer is no. Here's why.

I have played the other GTA eversince 3 came out. GTA 3 was new, it was HOT, it was innovative, it was provocative.

Then came Vice City; Cool music, retro style, motorcycles, new cars, new city, better Graphics

Then San Andreas. Great graphics. Once again, great story. So much variety. Large different maps. Many different mission. So much replay value. You can actually control gangs, do stunts, swim, and fly an AV 88. I mean, I have a jet pack and my taxi bumps in the air when I honk.

Now GTA4 comes out. We can all agree the graphics are superb and the gameplay is amazing. City is well designed, animations are superb. But the game is so boring. There is no variety. No artistic value. It fails to deliver a new feeling. It brings absolutely nothing new to the serie and that is why it does not deserve a 10. I mean, you can't even parachute and fly planes like you could in San Andreas, and that is the inverse of progress to me. Besides the music sucks. This games makes me feel absolutely nothing. I give it a fair 8. A game is not only about graphics, and maybe when people realize that, there will be better games on the market. My brain needs superior entertainment or else it gets bored.

In response to your question, yes it fully deserves every bit of the 10. It is a masterpiece. If you really want to whinge about a game getting a rediculously high score, go look up Little Big Planet which I think got a 9.

while in my review i gave it a 10 i think a 9.5 would have been better. like others have said it realy does not do much that was not already doen in vice city. Its a great game IMHO but could have used alot more new game play. even something as simple as mulible dialoge options would have been cool. maby the abilty to start your own gang or mafia family would have been cool. as it is though its just gta vice city minus the vice city and better graphics.

Its a very good, solid game. But San Andreas was still the best. More replay value and overall fun. GTA IV didn't feel the same because of the added realism.

GTA 4 is not even the best game in the series. I would place GTA: Vice City and GTA San Andreas above it. GTA 4 really dissapointed me, mainly because as soon as you finsih the missions the game goes into sleep mode and there is nothing to do. Beat the game and returned it. I say it was a waste of my money. Rent, do not believe the hype of this game, nor the 10 rating that it DOES not deserve.

This game does not deserve a 10, it gets boring and monotone, all you do is run over people and kill them with weapons (and some people criticizeFar Cry 2 when GTA IV is just the same ¬_¬)

GTA SA was better (with the exception of the graphics and sound quality)

I don´t think its so good, because its get boring, the missions is monotome, go and kill somebody, steal something, and you get a lot of useless cash. You can´t do much with the cash, when i play a game i want to build up my caracter, when collect money i want to be able to buy better guns, butter armor etc. One of the previous GTA have for example sex apeal status, so you can buy clothes to get higher status, but they have nothing like that in GTA IV. You can by clothes, but it have no function so ever.

Niko is money horney, but i can´t spend the money. It could be so much more fun if you add skills to niko, you could but garage, cars, houses, get respect points from differents game. This game feels like a movie, you have do mission 1-200 and then you got much money and the game is finished. Okey you got friends and dates, thats cool, but the dates dossent have any function. There are so much things to do and places to explore but its have no function so ever. That boring me out totaly.

When it comes to the graphic, its has no anti-aliasing so ever, the framerate is poor, its not even renderd in 720p and the framerate is poor specielly when its rain!

Rockstar have maked a lot of effort for this game, but not connected the threads in the game, thats really sad...I am in the middle of the game, but i can´t play more then an hour then a got bored out. Sorry but no 10 points becuase its have no strategy so ever. Every game today you have to work to get things, but in gta iv after i few missions you have everything.

Physics was better. Controls were a bit sloppy. I would say a 9.0 personally.

Fact: GTA IV is grossly overrated. Graphics, sound, and physics are superb. Everything else is lacking...it just doesn't have a fun factor to it.

Games deserve 10s because it's a 1-10 scale. A truly perfect game would get an 11, but it's not possible obviously. Get it? MGS4 deserved a 10. It was amazing. GTA4, on the other hand, had terrible online and the single player was same old same old. I'd give it a 7-8

Eh, I think it should have scored somewhere between a 9.0-9.5. I think giving it a SOLID 10 was a little too high, but I'm not complaining.

OK. Even if 10 doesn't mean perfect by gamespot standards, GTA4 still doesn't deserve a 10 by gamespot. Overrated by a milestone. Worst GTA by far. And even so. 10 the maximum score on gamespot doesn't mean perfect? So... whos the reviewer that dictates which 10 is better than that 10 because MGS4 is clearly better than GTA4 by infinite ammounts. Thats fact, not opinion.

Gta IV is one of my favorite games, but it has its ups and downs. Gta IV is realistic and it has a great story line. I love it, but on San Andreas you can do mor things and it has a bigger map with more cities. I dont know which one i like better.

no, it's great but doesn't deserve a 10, even mgs4 i think doesn't desrve a 10. nothing is perfect in life, both games i would give it 8.5-9. treat gta4 like the new 2 james bond films which is realistic by the new actor daniel craig and kinda like copying the style of bourne movies, while past gta games treat it like old bond movies with pierce brosnan with things and gadgets can happen only in movies not in real life.
