Well...yeah. What did you expect? I mean, official magazines always tend to give AAAA. I mean, Halo 3 and Gears of War got AAAA from OXM UK I believe.

Let's wait for a non-system biased one.

But it's a good start! It means the quality is definitely there!

This is official gaming magazine, don't believe the gaming world will follow. Though if this gives AAAA, then the likelihood is most others will give AAA.

It happened to Gears of War (Though OXM UK, same company, only gave Halo 3 a 9/10 O.O)

When did MGS4 get 50-60 AAAA reviews ? I must have missed something, i thought has only got 1 (one) for now, and from OPM, not exactly the most important 10/10 if you ask me

Jak 3 - 8/10

Resistance: Fall of Man - 7/10

Uncharted - 9/10

Don't mistake this with 'Official Playstation Magazine' entry. This one is 'UK'

Heavenly Sword , Folklore - 7

Call of Duty 4 - 10

Rachet and Clank Fiture , DMC4 , Burnout Paradise , gow 2 , Killzone :shock: - 9

Assassisn Creed , GT5 P , gta III , - 8

All of their 10s for the ps2

  1. Black:shock:
  2. Burnout 3 Takedown
  3. FF XII
  4. GTA VC
  5. GTA SA
  6. MGS2

  11. Time Splitters 2
  12. Winning Eleven 2007

Pretty good list of 10s ............. but Black , Timeplitters , Killzone , and Resistance reviews seem a little off or poor to me ....... so I don't think my trust is there regarding that.

Woah , The Getaway a 9 ? European sensibility I guess.

That was actually the most pleasent surprise in this story.

On topic, I knew this game would be great. I don't see another AAAA title though, I expect high 9s at most sites. 9.5 here.

I think they are good reviewers, so far they have only given out 3 10 scores to ps3 titles and those games are all great. GTA4 10, Call of Duty 4 10, and now MGS4 10 which is a score that deserves it, the game is just that good. I told everyone this already, all the haters who talk down on it and say it will bomb will get owned and I guaranteed the first review we get for MGS4 will be AAAA or AAA nothing less. And look what we have here its first review and its a perfect 10. On to the next review and this game is going to rock. I loved MGO beta and miss it already. I cant wait to play this game and finish snakes final mission and go out with a bang and join back with the awesome mgs online community. :)

That's not fair at all. You base the MGS review from an Official Magazine, whereas you only allow the 360 to get an AAAA from Gamespot. This is only so far in 2008, many of the best games will come out towards the end of the year anyway so you can judge then.

Yeah a very strict reviewing site if u ask me so I think that we can all say that MGS4 did deserve that 10. Quite obvious every game site who had the chance to play and beat it seem to have praised the game soo much I wouldnt be suprised from these high score reviews for mgs4, it really deserves it and is really that good. :)

God the reviewer needs to do his homework.

MG was not the first stealth game, CASTLE WOLFENSTEIN was.

Sheeeeeeeeesh.

Oh and I might just pre order the CE of MGS4... even though I dont have a PS3.... I just really want to make sure i secure a copy of the CE.

Exactly my point , that one was a little off which should have been an 8 or a 9 (as well as Resistance). Black and Killzone were rated too high.

Edit - sorry I quoted the wrong person , this was meant for the poster above.

OXM UK had the fanboy purged in between those two reviews.

I hate single console reviewers. I don't put any stock in them at all. If MGS4 gets 10's from neutral multi-console reviewer outlets, I will be very impressed and based on a bet I made, I will have to ban myself from SW for a month.

Most likely MGS4 will be AAA at the neutral sites.

I could be wrong, but I'm not most of the time. I predicted GTAIV's perfect 10 at this site when people were saying it was impossible for a game this gen to score a 10.

I knew it would happen because: at this site, the past three GTAIV games have gotten 9.6. I knew that with a combination of polish and cinematic merit, GTA would score those extra four points.

I can see MGS4 easily getting better scores than its predecessors, but for it to get the kind of critical response that GTAIV got is very unlikely.

Here at Gamespot and in general, Metal Gear Solid has had shakier critical response than GTA. It has just that much higher to climb as a series. The changes have to be alot less incremental than that of GTAIV.

Expected nothign less. Still some ppl on this website think it will be A-AA lol fanboys..AC-360

On this site it's possible. Two of the MGS games have gotten AA.

If it got an AA, it would be an extremely high AA. Like 8.9.

Thought there was no 8.9 on GS :? Anyway, this site is notorious for asscheek reviews but I doubt MGS4 can get anything below AAA on any site.
