I would have to say that MGS4 is the only game I have played this gen that is worthy of a full 10 score.

I have yet to play SMG2 though, but I would like to.

GTAIV...gets old very fast, IMO of course. I would have given it an 8.5-9

I've played all 3 and overall i have to say SMG2. That isn't to say I think SMG2 is a bad game but it's just not the type of game i like.

Metal Gear Solid 4 has a great storyline if you played all the previous titles and gameplay was solid with plenty of epic moments. Out of the 3 this is probably the top for me because its my type of game. Story driven game with lots of plot twists and movie like graphics that pays off once you beat the game.

GTA4 was fun and i got through the single player and enjoyed a bit of the multiplayer. Story was mostly average but some surprise plot twists I enjoyed. Gameplay was immensely fun and my family still comes in wanting to play this game to discover new crazy events that you can do. I'm not really a racing type of gamer nor do i enjoy mainstream FPS or TPSthat much but GTA4 was still great and i replay it from time to time.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 may be at the bottom of the list but i respect that if you want a goodgame that bends your mind and changes the way you think about platformers. Tes SMG2 succeeds in that department. However I just couldn't really get into it. Sure it was fun and the levels were pretty interesting but I just felt it needed something more. The word off the tip of my tongue is story.....imo if it had an engaging story in addition to the great platforming it would be a great experience for me. Personally I wish they at least attempted to make a story in the game similar to what the paper mario games did.

I'm probably basing my like or dislike of games WAY too heavily on storylines but hey thats just the way i am =P.

According to Metacritic and Gamerankings it's Metal Gear Solid 4. I have to agree, that game was nowhere near a 10. Followed by GTA4 and Super Mario Galaxy 2 was the best.

Fried_Shrimp

According to Metacritic GTAIV is better than SMG2...although in all honesty its backwards...GTAIV worst followed by SMG2 and MGS4 being the best. Quite frankly though none of the AAAA games this gen are as good as some AAA games. Arkham Asylum, Bioshock, Red Dead Redemption, Mass Effect 2, GeOW2, UC2 are a few I can think of off the top of my head that are better than any of the AAAA games. Hell, AC2 is better than any of the AAAA games out there imo.

GTA IV. Still can't figure out what was so different. It felt like GTA III, just bigger. Although I finished it and enjoyed it, it is by no means a 10. The multiplayer was a fantastic addition though.

I've only played GTAIV... but I don't doubt I'd even enjoy SMG2 more than that game. I'm still in the dark with MGS4 though... and I've only glimpsed a couple mild spoilers over the past couple years (none of which I couldn't have easily have predicted). Though, I'm really looking forward to playing it... I just wish I didn't have to get an entirely new console to do so.

GTA4 sucks IMO and I'm not interested in SMG, + I've beaten MGS4 6 or 7 times. Therefore,

MGS4 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GTA4 >>>>>>>>>>>>>> SMG IMO.

gta 4. as somebody who has played every gta game, it was far worse than SA and VC when considering features and story, and it was just not as fun as III, LCS, or VCS. not gonna include the 2d games, because they are completely different gameplay.

GTA4. :evil: at all the people saying MGS4, but it's definately not a game for everyone. Dunno why everyone in SW hates on the writing though. It gets cheesy at times(NAOOOOMIIIIIIII :lol: ), but it's not Twilight bad. Games like Killzone 2 and Rogue Warrior, now those have bad writing haha.

As for GTA4, there is not a snowball's chance in hell that game deserved a 10. So many bad design decisions, with a story that tries too hard to be good but ruins it with some of the most annoying characters ever in gaming. I'm looking at you Roman and Brucie :evil:. It's not horrible, it's just not a 10 worthy game, more of an 8-8.5ish.

mgs4 was the best game ever made, whoever disagrees needs to quit gaming because they are jealous or never played it.YankeesNYC4life


No kidding, Sherlock :roll:
On topic, the worst...? Well, I'd say it's MGS 4, that's because I don't like MGS games all that much anyway, and I adore GTA and Mario.

GTAIV. Only reason it got 10 was because it's GTA. Honestly I see this as a 9.0 game, +/- .5.

GTA IV is the only one I've played entirely, and it's certainly not deserving of a 10. I also played about an hour of MGS 4, but it was kinda lame.

GTA4 by far. bad controls, boring story, boring world....bad writing as well. 8.0

MGS4 isn't a ten either, but its still AAA imo

SMG2 deserves it though. its a fantastic game.

As much as I hate to say it, MGS4. MGS2 and MGS3 are two of my all time favorite games, but MGS4 was a massive disappointment for me. I would say my biggest disappointment this gen, but FFXIII took that achievement.

I've never really been into GTA so I guess my opinion is a little biased, but GTAIV just felt average. Good game, but not something I would personally rate so highly.

As for SMG2, I have no idea how anyone who actually played the game managed to vote for it in this pole. My only gripe about the game is that I didn't want it to end. It was pure fun from start to finish.

After playing SMG, SMG2 does not warrant a 10. It should be a 9.5.
Feels like everyones already forgotten about the first one.

But realistically speaking, its a 10 for the wii no doubt. When you start comparing every detail, its not ever meant to be a deep as the other two.

However, it does not tick all the 'marks' for it to be 10 rated game.
MGS4 and GTA4 does this.

As we know.
Wii fans choose SMG2. 360 fans choose GTA4. PS3 fans choose MGS4.

Thats basically it. Whatever you choose, probably defines what type of gamer you are and your preferences..maybe age too? lol

Yeah, you said it brother. I noticed the older gamers that value outstanding gameplay tend to go for SMG, while the youngsters get caught up in the cheesy melodrama and mash up of clunky gameplay systems that is MGS4.

Guess I never really thought about it that way.

What did you think of MGS4 though? Judging by your sig and avi I take it you're an MGS fan. Were you not majorly disappointed? I seriously couldnt believe what I was playing when it first came out. It didnt feel much like MGS at all. I'm not opposed to the idea of new controls for MGS, but these were not only alien to the series, they largely felt like a tacked on checklist of what a western gamer would expect from a poor mans tps.

They also abandoned the thoughtful level design of prior MGS games for wide open areas that never really take stealth, or action into consideration. Add the Octocam mechanic and you basically have a broken "stealth" game in which you can crawl through 90% of the areas. Dont want to play stealth? Fine, have a million weapons to choose from and a virtual store you can access any time. It completely takes away any challenge, greatly lessens the significance of finding new weapons/items and the game isnt even built well as a shooter in the first place.

The only time I found myself having fun in MGS4 was through self imposed challenges. The game simply gives you way too much to use and not many great, or varied ways to use them. After Act 2 the game is basically over. Not to say Act 3 was bad, but after the first run its value is lost. Kojima simply tried to bank off of nostalgia in Act 4 and Act 5 was pure garbage. Speaking of garbage, how about having some of the worst boss fights around in a series that was known for its inventive boss battles?

As for story, I suppose a casual fan that plays MGS games in passing wouldnt notice, but anyone that really knows the prior stories knows how big of a screw up MGS4 is. Without going into too much detail, its simply a retconned filled cameo fest from hell. Almost any impact or significance from the previous stories is destroyed by MGS4. The same can be said about the characters as well.

Of course there is the piss poor writing and complete lack of editing, but thats too obvious and not worth going into.

I could really go on forever, but I just dont see how someone can be so harsh about GTAIV while giving MGS4 a free pass. And this is coming from a guy that had an unhealthy obsession with MGS and doesnt even care for GTA games.

I've only played MGS4 and GTA4, and out of those two I'd say MGS4 is the least deserving of a 10.
