Everyone will wake up early today since it’s the launch date of the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto IV (GTA 4) by Rockstar Games.

In fact, the buzz for this game is so hot that IGN gave it a perfect 10 in their review. According to the IGN, the game is perfect in terms of graphics, gameplay, AI and even multi-player. The last time that they gave a game a “10″ was in 1999, to Soul Caliber. Yup, almost a decade ago. GTA 4 is also a strong contender for game of the year.

Meanwhile, check out their video review below and chances are you’ll agree…

Here’s an excerpt from IGN about GTA 4

Grand Theft Auto III was a revolutionary title, one that inspired a whole new generation of 3D action games. Grand Theft Auto IV is just as big a leap forward, though perhaps in subtler ways, and sets a new benchmark for open-world games. Everything in GTA IV works in harmony. The story would be nothing without the city; the city gains realism from the physics engine; the physics compliment the improved AI; the AI would make no sense without the new cover system. And on and on. There is no one major weak aspect.

A “10″ is not a score we give out very often. In fact, the last time we gave a 10 to a console game was Soul Calibur in 1999. A 10 doesn’t mean a game is perfect — it means a game is pushing boundaries, expanding a genre, and doing many things to a level so far above and beyond its competitors that they overshadows any flaws. Certainly, GTA IV has some issues, the most noticeable being the occasional flaw in the cover system, but there are many more pieces of GTA IV that are better than anything I’ve seen from a game in the past decade. We don’t give 10s often — just to games that merit the score.
