Just like COO, I don't think MGSIV will do so well here either....

It such a let down that COO got 8.5 here while all other sites gave it AAA rating. Even though COO is totally different game than MGSIV and on different system... Maybe MGSIV will suffer the same fate... GS will find something in the game that will keep it from getting AAA here :(

If SSBB doesn't get a 10 here, chances that MGS4 will be a 10 here also none.

It's definately possible. I can't believe MGS3 got less than AAA. I played through it last weekend and it was amazing.

Let's see: a 7 hour copy-cat of the original God of War didn't get an AAA status. Wow. What a suprise. It was obviously the most innovative, ORIGNAL game. :roll:. By the way, do you ever get tired the things that come out of your mouth?

Looking at Metacritic or gamerankings on big Playstation games GS consistently gives out the lowest scores thats just how it goes.

It such a let down that COO got 8.5 here while all other sites gave it AAA rating. Even though COO is totally different game than MGSIV and on different system... Maybe MGSIV will suffer the same fate... GS will find something in the game that will keep it from getting AAA here :( aka_aj03

Any analysis on why you think it should be higher? GS made its case, your is surprisingly lacking.

I'm not expecting MGS4 to score all that great on Gamespot either. My guess is about a 8.0. But hey, I said that about No More Heroes and we all know how that one turned out...

It a handheld game and they say it short.... what they want to expect the game to be over 20 hours of gameplay on a handheld device... they rated this game like it was suppose to be on a console...

Handhelds games don't have to be short. I understand your point, but I also understands GS's point. 7 hours is short. Handhelds are more sophisticated than before and with the ability to save, games can and should be longer. Also, it appears to be nothing new. While I may not agree with the rationale, GS appears to be docking games lately for these things. 8.5 is still a solid score btw. I have the game pre-ordered and look forward to picking it up today!

maybe they rated it like it was on a console, because it was a handheld game thats trying to be a console game. He also said it added no new gameplay features and felt a little watered down. A 6 hour watered down prequel to a 9.2 game definately deserves an 8.5.

I know GS's ratings don't really matter but if GS gives MGSIV a lower rating than the likes of No More Heros and Assassin's Creed I may go crazy.

Just watched the video review... It didn't strike me as a horrible one, far from it. The reviewer seemed to enjoy the game a lot as well.

MGS4 will probably get 9.0 and deserve 9.5. Obviously going to have a great single player and MGS Online should be great too. If they give it 8.5 that's the last straw for Gamespot bias.

It will be interesting to see what they give it since I don't really see any consistency in their rating. Remember, Uncharted got marked down for being too hard, NG didn't, R&C:ToD got marked down for being too easy, and there are other examples. GeoW didn't get marked for being a short game (beat it easily on normal in near 7hrs first try) GoW:CoO did. It doesn't seem like their is a criteria for how they rate games.

Speculation FTL!!! It deserves 9.5? Really, have you played it? Just because you and GS don't share the same opinion, doesn't mean it is bias.

I think both MGS4 and SSB deserve 10. But I doubt either one will get a 10. If either SSBB or MGS4 get a 9.0 I will highly discredit Gamespot. 9.5 no less :D.

.... 8.5 is bad? i understand that means its not AAA, but every other website has says its amazing, i think gamespot is the only 8.5. Im pretty sure that means its great, if same thing happens to mgs4 where all sites give it 9.0 or higher and gamespot gives it a 8.5 that is in no terms bad, just lemmings will have a field day saying OMGGGG AA!!! IT IS NOT WORTH BUYINGGGGGG IF A GAME DOESNT HAVE 3 A's IT IS GARBAGEEEE

You'd at least expect it to give the same amount of gameplay as the first one. Seven hours is weak, even if (being a psp game) it's not as big of a rip off as heavenly sword.

The fact that Gamespot is the only review site not to give the game a AAA, your statement is pretty weak.

I think MGS4 will walk out with a 9.0

8.5 bad man i guess then 9.5 is the new 10. Plus gamespot lost about 3/4 of its staff so i mean i wouldn't be so trustworthy with their reviews right now.

9.5 GOTY imo.

But if it gets lower, the cons will be too deep of customization, and awkward story.

I had to accept a long time ago that whoever eventually reviews MGS4 on this site might not love it, and might not even like it. But should that really effect me? Just because it may not get "AAA" doesn't mean it won't be a AAA experience for me. I know I will enjoy it, so I'm not going to get all hung up over a review.

Gamespot needs to reevaluate the people they put on certain games. Aaron Thomas is a primarily a sports game reviewer yet you put him on to review 2 action adventure games that he will not like as much as a person who is a fan of that genre. Tools of Destruction and Chains of Olympus are perfect examples. I really hope they give SSBB AAA status and the same with MGS4. You shouldn't be harsher on your review scale just because everyone else loves the game lol. Review it for what it is.

Damn, I want that in my sig.

MGS4 won't get a 10 here, you're kidding yourself. There isn't a single game that has a chance of getting a 10 this gen that has been announced. If you really think that MGS4 or Brawl will get a 10, you're a fanboy.

I will say, however, that GameSpot will give Brawl and MGS4 a low AAA-score at least.

So a game you never played automatically deserves a 10
