GTA IV : Best Reviewed Game Ever?

[SuperRabbit]

Man, these 10's are getting a little crazy. Look at the reviews (http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/xbox360/grandtheftauto4) for this game. Is this the best reviewed game of all time?

Looking through, I guess the only comparison is one that's been mentioned several times : Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time (http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/n64/legendofzeldaocarina?q=ocarina). Man, with so much praise, how can the game possibly live up to all this praise?

<P mce_keep="true">It's certainly got a lot to live up to now, that's for sure. Hopefully it'll deliver.

Game certainly appears to be ambitious, hope it can live up to even a portion of the hype.

there will be some that thing this is the greatest thing ever made.

and there will be some that will be very disappointed.

me, i do my best to stay away from the hype and draw my own conclusions. i've only read one review, and thats because it gets delivered to my house.

Probably because the same core people have been hammering on this game ever since GTAIII - not many games get the luxury of this much time and resources, I'd say the chances are indeed high that I (and the world) will get the GTAIV that we want!

On the other hand, GTAIV has set the bar for the rest of the year, which is going to have a lot of potential BIG titles - MGS, RFOM2, GOW2, Fable 2, Fallout 3, etc etc.
