That is why I was wondering how you could count something like that. I know on MetaCritic HalfLife 2 is showing a higher review number than GTAIV. I didn't know you were talking about it having the highest score. Have a great day! -DirtyData Oh okay,

It now looks like it's taken a slide #3, behind Ocarina of Time and the PS3 version of GTA IV.

I'm for hearing your opinion but when facts are incorrectly quoted just to prove a point. -DirtyData What research did you do to backup the statement, “Currently the Xbox 360 version of the game is the highest reviewed game ever …”?

I'll be fair. I’m not going to slap a 7 on it and run off into the sunset giggling, if that’s what you’re worried about.

To quote: "A 10 doesn't mean a game is perfect -- it means a game is pushing boundaries, expanding a genre, and doing many things to a level so far above and beyond its competitors that they overshadows any flaws." You may need to list the games on XBOX 360 that are better, given everything, than GTA. Besides Bioshock ;) Not to beat a dead horse, but even IGN says the game isn’t perfect.

For starters: Liberty City, The 5 hours of cutscenes, the 1000 pages of dialogue, the amount of characters (both main story, and the random wandering people and their lines), the taxi drivers and the helicopter tours dialogue, the detail top to bottom, the freedom, the weather, the sounds, the soundtrack, the vehicles (motorcycles, cars, boats, helicopters), the moral decisions you make, the humor (yes, there is extremely hilarious stuff in addition to the silly stuff directed at teens), the fact that you can play 30-50 hours and still be entertained, etc... In my humble opinion.. GTA IV raised its own bar. Just promise me that when you review the game you take into consideration how massive GTA is and weigh it against your clumsy controls argument.
