      GTA: San Andreas is the best GTA so I’m not surprised at this opinion.

        Saints Row 2 > GTA4 :)

        …but seriously though, how is GTA4 the only ‘360 game of all time to get a 10? Can anyone tell me why I don’t like this game at all and feel like I wasted 60 bucks ? :(

          GTA IV is nice, but it can get very boring at times. Maybe because there’s too much you can do on the game. IDK

          San Andreas is a classic. You actually are on missions that correlate to the storyline. GTA IV you’re just doing people favors and cutting ties with them. It gets very repetitive :(.

            I think alot of people have really been missing the point to why GTA IV got a 10/10. It’s not because it’s got the greatest graphics or greatest storyline.
            It’s the attention to detail that has been put into the game. Things that are really pushing the hardware to the limit.
            You can find all sorts of things all over the city can leave you astounded at how they did. Even the tiniest things.
            These include:

            Steam rising from open sewers
            Noticing how traffic changes at diiferent times of the day
            watching people go about their daily routines.
            Listening in on other peoples phone calls.

            There is so much stuff that you can take advantage of with this game but most of it requires the time investment to actually want to experience these things.
            The ign review goes into more detail about these things.

              This is taken from the ign review

              Grand Theft Auto III was a revolutionary title, one that inspired a whole new generation of 3D action games. Grand Theft Auto IV is just as big a leap forward, though perhaps in subtler ways, and sets a new benchmark for open-world games. Everything in GTA IV works in harmony. The story would be nothing without the city; the city gains realism from the physics engine; the physics complement the improved AI; the AI would make no sense without the new cover system. And on and on. There is no one major weak aspect.

              A “10” is not a score we give out very often. In fact, the last time we gave a 10 to a console game was Soul Calibur in 1999. 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. Certainly, GTA IV has some issues, the most noticeable being the occasional flaw in the cover system, but there are many more pieces of GTA IV that are better than anything I’ve seen from a game in the past decade. We don’t give 10s often — just to games that merit the score.
