A 5 star hotel in Germany is different from a 5 star hotel in Kasachstan! The same hotel here would only get 3 stars or less...

Of course the graphics are better than in SH2, AOTD or other older games, but following that logic all shooters than came after Quake 1 should automatically get a 10/10 as well. The graphics of a new game need to be compared to games of the same time period, and since there are serious shortcomings, as you´ve pointed out in the review, the game does not deserve 10/10.

"Upon release, it was determined SH4 locked the resolution at 1024x768 and did not allow anti-aliasing, drawing the ire of upscale players with large monitors."

So what would SH4 graphics get after Ubi fixes all that? A 12/10?
