Is it just me?? Am i the only one who thinks the game is a little overrated?? Come on, it is an amazing game but clearly has some iissues like graphic glitches, or dumb AI for example. Don't get me wrong, but a lot of games are criticized in their reviews and get a lower scores for having the same problems?? What do you think??

the game deserves an 11, 10 is too low.

everything that's bad about it would be considered normal in every other game that didn't have so much amazing crap in it such as this game has.

Overrated, no friggin way. The game is even better than I expected. Of course its gonna have some issues being so big and all but the overall experience is amazing. Definitely a 10.

9.5? 10 is the best score possible, and last I checked, GTA could have been improved, am I correct?

I havent played yet (damn dad wont let me get it) but from what ive seen and read it dosent deserve a 10.

IMO no games deserve 10's, 9.8's maybe but unless god made the game himself then... nope no 10's.

I don't beleive reviewers view a 10 as perfection. There is no such thing with video games.

Does it deserve a 10? I dunno i'm not real far into it. The only thing that I'm having issues with is the graphics seem a little grainy.

Its not overrated just a little biased when it comes to reviews (its hard not to be these days)

IMO no games deserve a 10 unless ABSOLUTLEY PERFECT!

When GS reviews a game and gives it a 10 then there shouldnt be anything in the cons section and there was...

GTA4 is not PERFECT and never will be

That's pretty Naive. You can form an opinion without even touching a game?

If it's 10, people say doesn't deserve that.

If it's 9.5, people say it deserves more.

Pick your side, but either way, there will still be people who complain about the score.

I also agree with you..Yes, it's vast and epic ..but it also has some very noticible problems that should not warrant a perfect 10.

I actually have played it just for a very minimal amount of time at a friends house but ive also watched him and many others play it for long periods of time. And yes there are some issues... but nothing that isnt expected

When I said I havent played it yet I meant at my house.

It's a great game. The controls seems to be a little sloppy, and the cars and running have gotten slower for some reason. But slamming into an unsuspecting pedestrian at 80mph is the most satisfying thing I've seen in a game for a while. 10 might be a stretch but it's close.

Then as far as im concerned your opinion is invalid. So according to you no game will ever get a 10/10? the ratings there for a reason buddy and as far as i can see there arnt enough bad points in this game to knock it back .5

Im not bashing the game at all, as a matter a fact I cant cause I dont own it.

I know the games great and the story and characters are along the lines of a classic movie but there are a few issues and it still could be improved along with everything else in the world...

Well knocking it back .5 would be to harsh I agree but thats only cause GS's rating system blows.

Like I said before, buddy, a 9.8 or 9.9 wouldve been better IMO and I know I havent played it for very long yet and my opinion may very well change and if it does, you'll be the first to know ;)

It deserves the 10, if you compare GTA IV with San Andreas you can see all the improvements done. To change that much within 4 years and make this game as good as it is makes this score well worth it.

at first gamespot gave GTA4 9.5/10. A few hours later they CHANGED it into a 10/10. Probably because of user criticism, but that's just sad, soooooooo sad.

I think that the game deserves 9,8, because I've already saw some tiny "bugs"

9.9.

Barely any problems, but 10 is Perfect and no game is perfect. The AI is dumb rarely, thats the only problems though IMO

Tbh i find the dumb AI part of the humour, especially when you hail a taxi and on its way to you it crashes/gets stuck in weird places.
