  Edge Magazine seems to be pretty harsh in their criticism, especially considering the say it's "faithful to its fans, its premis and its heart, delivering an experience that is, in so many ways, without equal."
  
  Strange you'd give a game that offers an experience "without equal" an 80/100, lol.

    Edge don't generally give many reviews higher that 80/100 that is like their top score, unlike other publications that are happy to devalue their ratings system for a hyped game.

      I was unaware of this. I'm not really familiar with most "professional review" sites though so I guess that'd explain why.

  its really pointless saying what the metacritic average for mgs4 is right now. the 93 is only based on 11 reviews the last mgs score was based on nearly 60 reviews and most big gaming sites have agreed they won't release their reviews until the 12th.
  
  So at the moment this score is worthless as it could easily go up or down, its too soon to be quoting metacritic scores

    It is still good to have something in the archives, i mean if it goes down by a lot, lots of people that do serious research are going to want to know when its score piqued, and currently it is at its highest.

      Let's hope it doesn't go down any further though.
      
      I gotta admit, I'm a little surprised that MGS4 is getting lower scored reviews than the average "super hyped" game. I don't know if anyone else feels the same way, but I'm getting the impression that alot of reviews are giving off the vibe of "it's a fantastic game, but not quite what fans were expecting". I just hope I enjoy the game once I play it and don't leave disappointed.

  I think its more MGS4 isn't as over hyped as other big titles (eg Halo, Brawl) Konami don't do big advertising campaigns or a press release for every little detail. They sell the game for what it is. Like it or not reviewers are subject to hype like everybody else
