I honestly cannot remember playing a game that surprised/stunnedme with its creativity as much asSMG has in a long time.

The question is simple: If SMG can't get a 10, is there anything in the horizon that even stands close to having a chance?

Side note: Now before I listen to the, 'stfu...you're a sheep' just don't even bother because I am one of the most hardcore hermits you will find and even I think this game is ****ing amazing.

Galaxy had it's share of problems. Though insignificant, they were still there.

But no, I don't think any game that we know of has a decent chance at a 10.

Um... is this sarcasm?

And I honestly can't see GS giving out a perfect 10 for a long, long time...

I think SMG is a great game, but it is unable to keep wrapped in it for more than an hour at a time. I would never consider it a 10. A lot of people seem to be worrying about games getting 10s and it is becoming ridiculous. When a game deserves, if anytime soon, it will probably get it from here. It probably won't even happen this generation, but we'll see.

I don't see GS giving out a 10 for a very long time either. It depends on the reviewer really. You never know.. with all the extra time Kojima is spending on MGS4, it might be able to get a 10, but don't quote me on that. Besides, you act as if SMG is the best game to come out this gen? I respectfully disagree. .. strongly.

Super Mario Galaxy is one of the best games I've ever played, but it is no way a 10. There are at least a dozen ways it could have been MEANINGFULLY improved upon.

Being a huge MGS4 Fan myself It would be very nice to see MGS4 get a 10

but in all honesty when the Review becomes a reality it'll most likely be 9.0-9.5

Most likely 9.5

I really think Super Mario Galaxy was the game that had the best shot, but overall I can'tsee GameSpot handing out a ten for a very long time.

All PS3 games should get a 10 - because tEh BluRay is so great. I mean, what other system can offer 50GBs worth of gameplay?! NONE.

Soul Caliber 1. haah in all honest i think in late 99 and so why Soul Caliber got the 10, well 1 it deserved it, but in reality it was a big game to come home. It was better then its arcade version in every way which at the time was unheard of, and it pushed home console to no limits. Tony Hawk 2 also did great, and of course Zelda in 1998. Its just Mario Galaxy to me is the best game ive played since th 90's. I feel young again, and as much as it has been insane, its just taken a formular and really cleaned it up alot and evolved. SOmethign has to come ouot nowadays that is totally off the wall and like fresh. Like StarCraft meets Chrono Trigger and has a child with Half LIfe who hooks up with Contra that cheats on everyone with Tecmo Bowl.

SMG is fun, and it's becoming one of my favorite games, but I wouldn't give it a ten either... there are a few problems.

I'm at 60 stars and I am trying to figure out what all these 'problems' are that people are having...

And I am hard pressed to find a better (read: fun) game this generation.

Herrdoktor

I got around 60 stars and dunno what all these problems are meant to be. I didn't have much problems with the camera at all and haven't noticed any framerate dips which i normally spot in alot of games. My only gripe would be the swimming can be hard but i never found it frustrating or anything.

No, yes we do need that. I never liked Majora's Mask either when it first came out. But I replayed it last year and Wow is it amazing

Mass Effect would have gotten it if it didn't have so many graphical bugs/glitches. It still deserves a 9.5 though.

i think its going to take A LOT for gamespot to give any game a 10. A LOT more than what galaxy does. A LOT more than what Halo 3 does. A lot..

Never gonna happen. I highly doubt Spore or Little Big Planet will get 10's. Let's face it, neither are bringing anything 'revolutionary' to the table (and yes I've done my homework on both). With the way I've seen the reviews on this site change over time, no game will ever get a 10 again here.

P.S. Anyone who is trashing Galaxy I am betting hasn't played it (even if they claim so).

I'm with you on this one (not surprisingly I guess judging on my avatar)

Anyway, a lot of people say that the zelda franchise needs a boost, a different antagonist, some real difficulty, and artistic risk.

THAT IS MAJORA'S MASK PEOPLE!!! IF YOU NEVER PLAYED IT GO GET IT ASAP! BEST GAME EVER!

Spore looks awesome but it seems to complicated to get a 10. What I mean is, with such a complicated game, there's bound to be at least 1 pretty big flaw, which will keep it from a 10.

To get perfect, a game must be innovative among all other things. If Metroid couldn't make it as a FPA game, then nothing can.

Galaxy is amazing but not a ten. And I don't really see Spore or Little Big Planet being 100% perfect either. Since Crysis didn't get a ten either, I don't know what game will.

i also agree that chances are very rare for getting a 10. but you have to agree its still revolutionary than any games this gen or any announced games till now. if only EA doesn't spoils it ...

I think Rockstar can pull it off... GTAIV is going to be a very special game next year. At least my expectations are setvery high for the game. We're going to see stuff that have never been done before. I can almost bet my life on it that the game will score at least 9,5. But a potentional chance for 10 is definitely not impossible.

I'm not doubting the power of Spore but SMG was easily the most revolutionary platformer since SM64.

No game in GS will ever get 10 cause of the new review system because they will find something or the other thing to downgrade it.

Too easy or too hard, Too colourful or too dull and so on...........

In my opinion any game that can change an entire genre is worthy of a 10, so in my opinion skate should have gotten a 10, I haven't played SMG, so I can't say anything but as long as a game can change a genre it deserves a 10 (GTA 3 changed a lot, I believe that desereved a 10 also)

People are still saying things like 'problems' or 'could have been more.'

How could have this game been 'more'?
