A game that should never be forgotten or lost.
It's hard to say farewell to certain things in life or to let go of somthing you care about but Metal Gear Solid 4 is defindently somthing that you would want to say just wow.
Kojima has been delaying it for years but it was worth the wait not just graphics or gameplay it's the story that counts and Solid Snakes final chapter and mission to stop Liquid once and for all.
Few years after Metal Gear Solid 2, Liquid trys to gain power and taking over the world fighting over PMC. You will meet old friends and new friends to help you. It had a great intro to begin with in the middle east where things got crazy and encounting Beauty and the Beast which were the 4 deadly bosses you'll fight but I'll try not to post any spoilers. Octacon does help you out during the game and giving you some hints and info. If your in Octacon's plane during the long cutscenes you can control a robotic drone called Metal Gear MK2 instead of the old codec system, you can wheel around the robot and pick itmes and find easter eggs during the cutscenes.
Gameplay= If you played most Metal Gear Solid games you'll get into it stright away and you'll finally know all the answers that were never in the other games including the meaning of Foxdie. Playing as Snake feels sort of like Resident Evil with the whole gun shooting thing and you can buy and upgrade your weapons from a man called Drebbin and a smokeing monkey who acts crazy for a drink. Some funny and memorable things such as hiding in cardboard box, now you can hide in a Barrel and you can roll to knock other enimies over but you'll throw up if you do that. The boss fights are very memorable there is one boss you'll encounter and you'll freak out if you remeber what you did on the last games to lose is to find and to find is to lose. Your health bar is different from Snake Eater you can no longer eat animals expect Rataions and Noodles. There is a four bar thing under your health bar called stress, if your stress gets low in battle and your trying to heal yourself your health will be low to restore so you'll need to take syringes. Some old weapons you'll use Eyepatch which has night vision, you can control Metal Gear MK2 almost where during the game where you can knock out enimes and wheel around if the area is safe.
Graphics and Sound= They look twice as better then Grand Theft Auto 4 which is true they do look clear and feel more like of an Amine/Action film with stunning cutscenes. You can't say no to those kind of graphics to what your seeing for a PS3 game honestly the enviroment and almost everything the game looks really well done and well set out. You'll be wrapped in the game making you feel your part of that world and to its story altogetor. Loads of music you'll reconise from last Metal Gear Solid games and you can carry an IPOD and you can listen to your own music any where listening to Konami music such as Zone of the Enders or Lunar Knights but there are more tracks to listen to but you would need to find through out the game. There is a Konami radio station on your IPOD telling you about the world we live and how you can listen to music while playing. You can also download on the game as well.
Overall= A game that should never be forgotten honstly you will be hooked on Metal Gear Solid 4 for hours pending on how it will take yu to beat the game. There is Online as well where you can battle other players online on the PS3 Networlk with many multiplayer modes such as Death matches or Team matches, its an online battle to see who is the real Solid Snake is, new maps as well if you've have played the Beta version back in April/May you'll know the controls. Sooner or later there will be new upgrades to get on the PS shop or on Metal Gear Solid 4 where you can use Drebbins points to buy IPOD tracks or camoflauces. I really enjoyed playing Metal Gear Solid over the past few days if I havn't played MGS 1,2,3 and Portable Ops I wouldn't have got into the series if my Xbox have no crash but Metal Gear Solid has gotten trhough to me and for many years to come the series will never be forgotten alot of fans are going to miss Metal Gear Solid series but what will Kojima do next?
