    It leaves you wanting more

    Metal Gear Solid 4, in a lot of ways, feels like more than a game. Its cinematic elements play a much greater role than any of the gameplay, which is easily substandard to the story-telling. The action thrill ride of some of the events, the twists in the plot, and the sheer madness of Hideo Kojima's randomly breaking the 4th wall and then immediately dropping you back into a very serious and emotional plot. By the end of the game everything feels unreal, and you just kind of gape at the screen for a while, unsure if it's really over. If you play this game, it will overwhelm you, and leave you wasted and wanting more. Metal Gear Solid 4 is an addictive substance, administer with caution.

      Metal Gear Solid has always been praised (and sometimes bashed) by it's long cutscenes, movie-style cinematography and mind bending plot twists. Metal Gear Solid 4 continues this trend by not only reaching this goal, but by blasting it into hyper-space. But what hasn't been done well in a Metal Gear Solid game is a perfect control system, an in-depth and varied gameplay and intense action, to which Metal Gear Solid 4 not only improves upon these elements, but perfects them.Snake's final chapter ...
