Perfect Ten?

I constantly see someone bringing up Metal Gear Solid 4 when it comes to SW, as it got a perfect 10 and is a PS3 console exclusive. I am a Metal Gear fan and played the series since Metal Gear 2 for the NES, but never felt that the game was above an 8.0

I'll get alot of hate for that but that's the thing about scores/reviews - they're opinions. The general consensus is that it's a 10, but my personal score is an 8.0 at best. My reasoning behind it is that the game wasn't fun. The story was wrapped up nicely and the production values were off the charts, but I didn't get the same satisfaction I got while playing MGS3 or MGS1.

What I'm getting at is that there are different genres/types of games out there and are reviewed differently. Because I give King of Fighters a 9.0 doesn't mean it's better than Metal Gear Solid 4; how can it be? They are two different games. It just means in the umbrella that it's under KOF13 is a great fighting experience whereas MGS4 in the action/adventure department is very good but not excellent.

Games with Perfect 10s should be something that stands out within it's genre and give you something to come back and play again - Perfection, In Your Eyes.
