GTA 4: The Greatest Game of All Time?

According to Metacritic.com, a website that averages review scores, GTA 4 on both PS3 and Xbox 360 have an average review score of 100 (out of 100) each, an unheard of feat! The only games that have scored even close (considering pc and 360) is Half-life 2, The Orange Box and Bioshock all with 96 point scores. Could GTA 4 already the greatest game of all time, the critics have spoken yes...

PS3 Metascore 100/100

360 Metascore 100/100

Update: The 360 version now has a 99/100

and yet critics can be wrong
the game has issues... so of course it is not perfect
if it is not perfect... it doesn't deserve a perfect score
if it has a perfect score... it's because critics were paid off.

xhi46626d ago

it continues to amaze me how misguided one can be.

DevonTheDude5356626d ago

Ha! I beat Kotaku.com to the punch, they posted an article similar to mine. Too bad the Kotaku one is on the main N4G page and not mine :)

I'm picking mine up tomorrow after school!

No game can ever claim to be the greatest game of all time, (outside of personal choices), but 1 one game can be the greatest for a time and right now its GTA4's time.

JoelR6625d ago

now this type of statement I agree with!

MULE
ELITE
PACMAN
STARCONTROL
ZORK
ULTIMA
MARIO

all at one time or another have been the best of their era and none of them overshadow the achievements of the other. All are great games and deserve to be called the best game.

LJWooly6625d ago

The score that a bunch of critics give a game does not define how great that game really is. I remember Halo 3 got 94, so I bought it, and was disappointed.

Everything's overrated nowadays, which makes it harder for truly great and original games to excel, where the same old crap shifts millions of units day by day (see: Nintendo).

The Witcher comes to mind...
probably game of the year but since it is small market and not reviewed much it will be passed over in favor of GTA

DevonTheDude5356624d ago

You haven't played GTA4 yet huh?

JoelR6624d ago

played GTA 22 hours now... and Witcher is still better

try it ^_-

OLD MAN6625d ago

Metal Gear and FF 13 and versus.

Truplaya6624d ago

i disagree with you coz i'm not hyped up about either of the games you mention

FF - Too Japanese and turn based, plus its an RPG (yawn)

MGS - its gonna be about 80% cutscenes. i'll pick it up but i'm not expecting to be amazed by it like i am with GTA.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit50d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing50d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9250d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
