My local curry house make's a 10/10 Jalfrezi but my brother prefer's the one a few mile's down the road...that Jalfrezi aint got all that many chili's and the sauce to chicken ratio is less..infact i would only give it an 8/10.

Still i would eat the 8 and love it as would he from my favourite.

It is all opinions kiddy's...

One day, Crofto will visit your shitty curry places and correct your opinions. You have not eaten enough currys to make such a desicion. You are not enough of a big curry eater. Unlike Crofto.

Tis great. Back to the king of views with the polish of 4 (which is a bit dark/ drab colour wise for me.

It didn't read as a ten to me either, but I'm still intrigued by the game. What a great idea, scaling GTA back to where it begun -- hilariously silly and fun freeform adventure.

@evilfoxhound

Okay, look, think of it this way since you can't seem to get it the way other people have explained it: Imagine that instead of the score being like a line which starts at 0 and ends at 10, think of it as 10 boxes which are fairly evenly divided in terms of quality. In box 1 are all the worst games. They're not all equally bad, they're just among the worst games ever. In box 10 are all the best games. They're not equally good, they're among the best.

Does that make sense?

10 !

Good stuff. Got this coming from play.com (?17.99).

Nice to see a DS game where they have actually created a whole new style to fit the game rather than just tack on pointless mini-games.

GTA Wii next ?

"Sony will be getting really worried I bet if this goes on to sell more than the PSP versions of GTA"

I doubt it will sell that well. I have yet to see any tv ads for it in the UK.

Given there about 10 times as many DS's in people's hands in the UK compared to PSP's, it doesn't have to market all that much. Sheer word of mouth and the available population to sell it to will mean it'll sell in big numbers. That and the fact it'll be the only 18 rated DS game in existence.

It's probably been argued already in this thread, but I can't be arsed reading the moaning again and again.

10/10 at EG is a 'best in class on the platform, at this point in history'. If I've interpreted it correctly.

It doesn't mean perfect.

Too many idiots. My ignore list doubled from this comments section. The retards debating the scores; the SAME FUCKING PEOPLE who feel the need to bring up how they thought GTA4 sucked. I wish they would board a rocket so I could shoot them into the sun.

Wow, 10/10 scores really bring the douchebags out in force...

Great review, hadn't realised this was out so soon. After the disappointing Henry Hatsworth review I might well pick this up instead!

So we're all agreed 10 means "perfect", and as such can never be awarded to any game. Just like 5 stars out of five for films.

OH NO WAIT SOMETHING'S WRONG THERE

Wow hold on a second...

The graphics aren't as good as Crysis

Seriously???

I'm not even going to bother



Hope I can get some money together to buy this

The people who think 10/10 = Perfect are so funny btw ;)

Also, Croftos profile is superb!

EG's reviews are some of the most well-written, thought-provoking pieces of game journalism on the web. I am constantly amazed at how its readers constantly end up in discussions such as this one. I thought we'd be smarter than that.

Here's a thought: GTA for the DS is obviously great. How about we stop bickering and go play it for ourselves?

All the people complaining about the GTA IV 10/10 because it's not fun: Do you think Schindler's list or any other good but not fun film should be marked down? Not comparing Shindler's List to GTA IV, only saying even in games fun isn't always the most important factor. Hardcore MMO raiding guilds don't have "fun" in that sense i.e. Saint's Row 2 fun. Peggle, Empire: Total War and any decent horror games aren't "fun" either.

@ fightman9
Wishing people dead for not liking a game you will not even pay for is wrong. Put your money where your mouth is or shut the fuck up and go away.

Eh? Why aren't they fun? Your definition of fun seems rather strict.

You do if you venture to the forums. Not excessive, but it's there.

I like the look of this game, and am very tempted to buy a DS for this.

SOLD!

I love my DS, but up until now it's been -only- for Castlevania, RPGs and turn based strategy (Age of Empires DS, Anno, Civ). In the past, all DS attempts at actiony 3-D games have left me cold. I'm ready for GTA to change that. :o)

I loved the complex grey areas of Nico Bellic's story in GTA IV, but that wouldn't have been so effective on a handheld. This old school, GTA/GTA II style game looks rad.

Also, sometimes I worry that EG's intelligent majority of commenting readers is become a dwindling breed..

"(fightman is here)"

fuckers like you need to learn how it works around here

Enjoy getting your opinions thru to about 5% of the people reading EG forums. The rest will already have ignored you.

Well then, scream your heart out, please (:
