ahhhh, behold the ignorance of the fanboy.
1) MGS4 and NG 2 are in no way similar or comparable games. i believe that soul calibur for dreamcast got a perfect 10 as well, so should be comparing that to MGS4? what about the legend of zelda ocarina of time? action games get scored A LOT tougher because there is just too much to them, when compared to a shooter of any kind, or any kind of less intense action game. DMC4 and NG2 both got 8.0's on gamespot... so? they are both great, great games.
2) yeah, behond the best action game of this generation. it is, so far at least, the best action game out there. this game was made for hte fans of the original, not for japanese fanboys. NG 2 is faster, tougher, bloodier and more intense than the original, and that's what all the fans wanted.
3) NG2 has it's flaws. i can overlook them, because it's a truly great game, but the detractors will always pile on to them. no, it's definitely not as polished as NG or NGB... well, when you release a game in 2 years, and are having massive problems with your employer (see: itagaki sueing tecmo) you're going to have a less polished game than a game that you spent 5 years making, under presumably better circumstances. if the slowdown on the part where you fight about 100 enemies on a set of stairs late in the game, or dealing with a sick amount of projectiles flieing at you at all times on higher difficulties ruins the game for you, then i'm sorry to hear that, and have fun with mgs4, which i'm sure is an amazing game for fans of the series. me? i'm going to enjoy putting a couple hundred hours into becoming a master ninja, because NG2 is everything i hoped it would be, besides the rare framerate and/or optimization problem.
