GTA 4 afterthoughts...still a 10?

Is GTA 4 still a 10 now that you have had time to play it.Be honest.You may love it but is it a 10?There has yet to be a 10 on the 360 in my opinion.The closest being Bioshock 9.5 for me but to each his or her own.I don't really know why but this has bothered me from the day it was released all the perfect 10s it got.I know I need to get a life but a 10!!!!:shock: There is nothing wrong with the game?

I gave it a 7.5 when it first came out.I've noticed a lot of people never finished it.That has got to mean something.

Read my review if you want to know why I gave it a 7.5.

i gave it an 8.5/10 it was a great game but not the GTA i remember.

It didn't deserve a 10 in the first place. I put in around 10 hours or so and haven't played it since. I got tired of doing the same thing over and over and over.

Is a great game but is not perfect.

For me is not a 10 is a 9. The game has a lot of bugs and is very repetitive.

if it got a 9.5 ppl would argue that it shoulda gotten a ten. i think ppl just rip on it bc they wanna be "different"nahmean187

If GTA4 got 9.5 then no one would be having any conversations regarding its score.

8 at best.

Yeah they would. If a game that big gets a good or a bad score people would complain and argue about it. It's game that can not escape this kind of stuff.

After playing it, I would probably give it an 8. People say that the story is so amazing and that's why it gets a 10. Personally, if I want story, I watch a movie. I'd give a 10 for amazing gameplay, which I don't think GTA4 improved on enough to deserve a 10. After a while, GTA4 felt more of a grind than anything. Like I was just working towards finishing the game.

I always thought it should have gotten an 8.5 or a 9

Every other game with glitches gets terrible reviews but GTA has a swing set that can be used as a car cannon and it got a 10........

Plus the story wasnt very good and theres not nearly as much to do this time around.

9 at best. theirs just not as much stuff to do in GTA4 as their was in the previous GTA's.linklb4130

I agree.

The fact that they gave it a ten is saying that it's the best game made for the 360.Witch it is not.However if it did get a 9.5 it would be one of the many very good games.I can buy that a little better then the best game.

Or you know.... They just have an opinion in which they are intitled to.

Seriously, it's not somthing worth whining about. It's not like reviewers are the final say on a game.

I agree,a 10 was a bit far, 9.8 would have been the perfect score but Gamespot doesn't do that anymore.The multiplayer was a bit weak and single player side-missions can get repetitive at times.

That's the problem with this site's odd approach to rating numbers. Rounding up a few points looks good for the game and for the site, but it's not possible now to give what could potentially more accurate number.

After completing it, and playing online a few times, I don't think it's THE best game around, but I think I understand why the 10s came about. It has to be remembered firstly that 10 DOES NOT equal perfection. No scale with such a small range could ever encompass perfection. But I do remember that amongst the people that didn't like the previous GTA's, the cartoony over the top feel is what these people complained about, they considered the games "mindless". And given that "realism" is currently the In thing, the change in direction is quite noticable to people who played the others a lot. It is quite different to Vice City and SA, this game, when you get past the initial similarities. And it seems that lots of people actually preferred the "mindless" violence and freedom over this more narrative driven, realistic approach.

Even though the type of story they are going for meant they needed the main story missions to go a certain way, I don't think it would have been too much to stick in some more variety in the side missions. Personally, I loved the remote control cars and planes and helicopters from SA. :D And for the love of Christ, remove the bike chase missions if you are going to use more realistic driving!

As I said to each his or her own.I just wanted to know if anyone had changed there minds ofter play'n it for a wile.I'd like to ask the reviewers but I doubt that they would answer so I'm asking you all.

I still think it deserves a 10. Not because of the game itself, but because the incredible work they did with the whole city.

I just can't stop being amazed by the level of detail that everything has, and by that beautiful lightning.

stop the whining, this game is a 10 .racastro65

And youre a 6.5 for incessant crying because everyone doesnt think youre favorite hooker killing adventure game is a 10

now take your opinion to a different topic

No game should ever get a perfect score.

And plus, the multiplayer in GTA IV is just horrid.

Out of all the the GTA's this one was just a letdown the single player was poor with a lack of creative missions and the whole friend thing became annoying and wasnt done well at all.

TBH i wouldnt count it as a true GTA as it basically forgets everything that happened it the previous Liberty City like it never happened. The third Island is pointless with hardly any missions and there isnt really anything worthwhile on that island to do.

The gameplay is an improvement but the Story and Characters are poor.
