Perfect 10s: MGS4 vs. GTA4

This is something that has really been on my mind lately. Back in April, IGN gave GTA4 a perfect ten. Along with many other game sites it got a perfect ten. Then GameRankings, it took Zelda's spot as number one. After April 29th, many gamers clearly stated that this game does not deserve a ten.
I been a GTA fan all my life, and to say maybe this isn’t the best game or GTA, but it certainly lived up to its hype. People complained that many stuff were taking out (weapons, cars, checkpoints) but you have to realize, when you add in new things you have to take the old things out. Look at Vista.
On June 13th, IGN gave MGS4 a perfect ten. There is one thing I have to say. Yes graphics are beyond greatness. Yes, the story is beyond epic, but what about the game play? About 85%of your time, you are watching cut scenes. A game is meant to be played not watch. I don’t know if you read my review, but I labeled MGS4 as a "interactive blu-ray disc."
What I am trying to say is, how can you say that GTA4 does not deserve a ten, but MGS4 should go higher than a ten? Everyone is saying something, but not backing it up. So can someone just clear this up for me? I would really like to know. Thanks.
