maybe its one of those abnormally cool things which appeals to the masses but is ultimately aimed at a niche?

@50: There’s a french review listend on MC. They gave it a 7 because it has technical flaws and is very repetitive, but well you know it’s a Rockstar game and they never score less than 9 even with boring games like GTA4 ;DDD

@52: Are you talking about the Gamekult review? If that’s the case it’s not really a bad review. In fact Gamekult is one of the few websites (or even magazines) that use the whole rating palette and not only the 7 to 10 grades (proof is the subtext that goes with the 7 grade is “good”). They still say it’s a bit redundant, which is my main concern. Maybe I’ll wait and see some user reviews to make my decision…

EDIT: GTA IV was, indeed, a disappointment to me.
