Gamespy: Grand Theft Auto IV is only a 5...

...out of 5

GameSpy reviews Grand Theft Auto IV awarding it a 5 out of 5.

The reason the game works so well is largely due to the fact that the writing is downright excellent, from the dialogue to the story to the expertly crafted cast of characters. Niko's character arc is so compelling that this is one of those rare games that is almost as fun to sit and watch as it is to play.

See, no bias. I don't only post the 10 out of 10 scores. I hope this story is different enough to fit the criteria for a separate HoC post.
