9.5, if it was .1 increments it would be 9.9, but since they will get flamed for giving a 10, it will get 9.5

I say 9.5 as well, but if they thought it deserved a 9.9/10 wouldn't it be rounded up to 10?

Those games were reviewed before they changed the rating system.

But gamespot publically announced they were changing their rating system back in the late spring/early summer of 2007. A game can only score in .5 increments now.

i heard that they have changed their rating system to .5 increments since those games which i think is dumb. the difference between a 9.5 and a 10 is HUGE. a lot of times a game deserves in between but now its not possible, i have no idea why they would change the system.

but i think it deverse a 10 man looking at these leaked gameplay

city is really alive

like just if you beat poele they walk alway like they got beat up in real life

then if cops is near you if they only see a npc hitting you they run over and just arrests him

then the new physics in the game how people always fall different and the cars dents look real vs the bumper just falling off when you hit something on one side

Yeah I think it sounds 10 worthy, but GS always gives lower scores than other reviewers it seems. I can't wait to play it and decide for myself what rating it deserves though.

GTA didn't buy any site eating ads so I'm gonna guess 8.0

I kid, I kid.

But I'm guessing 9.0, saying something about technical bugs or something that will reduce it's score.

What I think is Gamespot better put some serious thought into this one after the Gertsman fiasco... I'm expecting a 9.5, but if it's not a "well done" review, people are going to be really upset.

I'm going to have to guess Gamespot is going to rate GTA a 9.5 not perfect due to some technical glitches and some other small details.

Personally I think the game is a solid 8.5 I think GameSpot will give it a 9.0

I think they stopped doing increments of 0.1 so I'll have to say, 9.5.

All GTA4 discussion now belongs in the stickied thread. Thanks.

Oh, and if I had to guess, 9.5 looks like a good choice. :)
