The game was just released today. How in the hail can it have a perfect 10 review? Doesn't the game itself take something like 100 hours to get through? I honestly don't see how I can trust a 10 review score EVEN IF THEY ONLY HAD 3 WEEKS TO REVIEW IT BEFORE RELEASE.

Any explanation on how it can get a perfect 10?!?

Thanks,

Jknight

Reviewers get the game when it goes gold. So gamespot would have had it for about a week or two now.

man, i bet the mods have had to start drinking by this point. There's a nice Sticky at the top of the page that says "GTA IV discussion here," yet people keep starting the same threads over and over.

you are so right my friend, gamestop got the game last night, played it for 5 minutes to see how good is it and gave it a perfect 10. i even saw the gamestop guy in the 34st store last night waiting in line for the release of gta 4, he was trying to skip the line because he said that the review has to be done by 6am and he has to play the game for a least an hour.

STFU you a-holes. I kind of figured they got it ahead of time, but even in two weeks of time, I would assume there is 100 hours of game to it, like San Andreas, not something easily completed in two weeks with people who have day jobs (obviously not the lot of you unemployed talking-out-of-your-rectum dickheads). Also, gamespot doesn't usually give out 10s to anything! I'm highly suspicious of that score. I was asking about the score...10 sounds like GTA might've paid them to say that.

jknight5422

caml down, just becuase your being naive doesnt give you the right to insult people. Also btw GTA cant pay gamespot becuase its a damn game, you might mean Rockstar.

But yeah get over yourself

No shiet sherlock, Rockstar instead of GTA. Who are you, the Editor? Why don't you edit this:

Why don't you swallow a couple of brown ones?

Maybe you can figure out what I meant by that statement, genius.

I agree. I have a hard time believing this game got a perfect 10. So this game is up there with Zelda? Which even that game I have a hard time believing is a 10. Last game that was getting amazing scores around the internet was Bioshock. And that game was amazing, but it got like an 8.5 here. Same with Mass Effect. Gamespot has it's own grading system that doesn't really work to well in my opinion. So techniqually this game is like a 15/10 to other sites.

The underlying point is the conspiracy of a perfect 10 score on the game. Dayam. I thought people could read between the lines but it seems they can only do this when trading insults with each other.

I'm sorry I don't think GTA4 can get a 10/10 score, yet I'm not saying it is a bad game I havent even tried it but plan to soon. But I think the score of 10/10 that means the game is perfect and has no absloute flaw and everyone who has any interest in gaming will enjoy playing the game yet sorry to say that is IMPOSSIBLE, nothing is perfect. I for myself who have not tried the game yet I do think GTA4 will be a good game but it just can't be perfect.

Yeah, I'm having a hard time buying this myself. I thought San Andreas was a great 9 game & one of my favorites, but Gamespot gave it a 9.6, which is a score I agreed with. Plus it had 100 hours of game play. This game is only half as long, which is disappointing to me. I like the GTA games to be long, perhaps with GTA V.

Thanks for the info. It's surprisingly short, that is enough to move it down from a perfect 10 score in my book.

Well I still haven't played it because even though there is no RROD, my cd drive won't open, but I doubt it deserves a 10. But I can only be sure after playing. The combat mechanics seem much improved.

I'm typically doing 4-5 things at a time so I don't always proofread what I write, which can lead to problems. Usually I don't get so many comments from a moderated board. Bunch of ball-breakin' bastiges around here...

I can't even think of a game I'd say is a perfect 10. I might say Fallout 1 & 2, or Planescape: Torment, Sanitarium but those games had a few bugs to take away the perfect score. I'd have to say a perfect 10 is a myth. Something that simply cannot be obtained.

I think Fenwick is the name of that gay guy from Neverwinter Nights. Your hero.

Meh. I may have a fictional gay friend, but at least I have an IQ exceeding a 3 year old.

I brought it today, having not liked any other entry in the series much due to extreme difficulty, omnipotent cops and the worst shooter model ever and I have to say it is THE best GTA. It thoroughly deserves that 10/10.
