Well good review but they should of stressed more
emphasis on how revolutionary the multiplayer's
free roam will be. I mean friends hanging out
in the most realistic city ever created that they can
interact and immerse themselves in together. the
possibilities are almsot endless, and not all groups
will be playing it for the meanie criminal aspects.

well ya mmorpg worlds have that atmosphere too but
not at this level of freedom, realism, detail and
natural balance (you don't need to be level 20 and
have a license to drive. wheeee!! )

but ya, I remember when Gamespot gave Chrono Cross
a perfect 10, they really had good taste in that
rare occasion.


but ya this topic is really a reminder that while
a score doesn't necessarily measure its value for
everyone, there is some truth behind the number.
But of course even then, even Games of the Year
can never win everyone's interest. There are so
many different opinions and perspectives and tastes

Well, the GTA games always get stellar professional reviews, and I still never enjoy them. But cool I guess. I didn't know Soul Calibur got a 10/10.

Well, so far the game only has 4 reviews. We'll see how it holds up after it gets... 59 press ratings like Mario Galaxy. After 59 reviews it averaged to 9.7

I've never personally enjoyed GTA, and I've never understood the fuss about them. But to each their own I suppose

well ya I didn't like GTA games either cause there was no decent
selection of avatars (well except GTA3's cheat code to play as any
character model in the whole city), but ya the multiplayer will finally
give a GTA the evolution and revolution of online interaction, city
immersiveness and more freedom!

and the fun is only limited by people's imagination (and within the
city's offerings).

it makes first person shooter multiplayer look brainless.
it makes mmorpgs look like too much work for so little.
it makes offline games look too lonely.
it makes vehicle games look too restricted.
it makes the Sims look too confined.
it makes River City Ransom look flat.

etc. etc.

Ahaha GTA...

Great game. Blockbuster is going to stay open Monday night till 12:30 for early release. For those of us that prepaid you can pick it up Monday at Midnight. You can also preorder till Sunday. I can't wait I got the special edition one. The bank safety deposit box will be cool as hell.

"While this game does seem like a vast improvement, no game is really worthy of a 10/10 review. Because then it would be absolutely perfect, and we know that no game is perfect."

GTA is not going to give me the Call of Duty experience. Namely, I will not get quite as much satisfaction jumping to certain death out of a desperate measure to get just a few more kills. Cooking a grenade and wandering in to an enemy base will offer little satisfaction in comparison.

This is because everyone will be doing it. GTA makes what is extraordinary in other games the expected, reducing it all to trivialities.

well CoD is a battlefield military game. GTA is more of an urban game,
but it blends all kinds of gameplay really well and much better this time.

of course it can't replace stuff like Gran Turismo's customizable cars,
but I rather have an uncustomizable vehicle that I can
cruise with and explore with in a living city (not to mention exit the
vehicle if wanting to travel on foot or change vehicles)
than just drive around in circles in a much smaller space

Honestly, the only game that deserved such a review was LoZ:OoT.

OH WAIT
