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

"MicroProse and Spideog Studios are today very happy to announce that their action, adventure/RTS, ‘Rise of Piracy’, is now available via Steam Early Access.." - MicroProse and Spideog Studios.
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.
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.
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).
Metal Gear and FF 13 and versus.
