For UK review: http://ps3.ign.com/articles/877/877611p1.html

For AU review: http://ps3.ign.com/articles/879/879429p1.html

Both versions have a very good rating!!! Can't wait to buy the game.

8.5 Lasting Appeal
Metal Gear Online or not, we came for the single-player game. We got just enough to balance out the cutscenes. There is definite replayability to be had, if you're passionate.

i just noticed that and its really funny. i really dislike a stupid person the most...

they should have put at least a logical reason for that like "MGO is not good enough or not something new" etc. etc. they really dont give any credit to MGO for replayability and cutscenes' skippable feature...

i hate idiots most...

anyway, even it gets 7 or lower, MGS4 is the GOTY for me

The same reason I know I will like it... because it will answer all my questions that in itself is enough for me to pay money for it... then you add all the other things reviews are saying... I must say any person who played and like the previous MGS's will love this game regaurdless of a stupid score from a reveiw.

Yeah, the AU reviewer...wow. He starts off the review with "Hideo Kojima is in the wrong line of work." That just flat out ruins the whole review. Then he complains in at least every paragraph with a "So and so is good, BUT" and explains about the things he disliked in the game more than the things he liked in the game. If you read the review and finally get to the score of the game you would be surprised. The way he made it sound, it deserved lower than a 9.5. I'm not complaining that it's not a 10...I could care less about that, I'm just pointing out that the reviewer was a dumba--.

How does MGS4 get a 9.9 and 9.5, and gta gets a perfect 10? gta had weak graphics, repetitive gameplay yet it still gets a 10.

It doesn't sound like they really enjoyed the game? But they gave it a 9.5? I think it is just how things are weighted. Yes it looks spectacular and sounds great But they had a problem with everything else. It sounds more like a 8 or 8.5 game...at least for new comers of the series.

Everyone fell into the hype...I'd give it a 9.5, it is most certainly not a 10.

The AU sounded like someone that just didn't like the MGS series, the UK reviewer sounded like he knew his sh--. They wouldn't base a game on just graphics and sound, etc. That's why I didn't like the AU review. He sticks on too much of the "I didn't like this because..." instead of actually explaining on what he did like about the game. He said he liked the improved gameplay...well, I wanna know why the hell he liked it.

The only game we can score here is GTA4, so stop scoring MGS4. Though I think GTA4 should have scored lower on its lasting appeal where as MGS4 with superior online should have scored higher.

Well I can answer that question for my personal thoughts. I am seeing everything from trailers to gameplay and its exactly what I have wanted from a mgs game. So it is goty for me personally and I already know it. June 12 feels months away.

Why are the AU reviews generally lower then the other regions? Is it because of their uber harsh censorship laws?

Its annoying, i have GTA4 and though its very good its just not AAAA worthy. Mostly becuae its the same game as the rest, but with annoying "social" bits.

Me and all I know rate GTA 4 an 8.5, so whoever rates it over a 9 are idiots.

Well, me, I give GTA4 a 6.5 out of 10. The game was a dissapointment and it ****** up my PS3!

You can't, I loved MGS1 and MGS2, I played MGS3 for 2 hours and just had enough. Never finished it.

sigh... I thought this was the Us version of the IGN review cause of the misleading title...
