Wake Me When it's Over
(

Metal Gear Solid 4 is an interesting game to review because there really isn't anything quite like the Metal Gear series in the gaming world. It's a series with a rabid following and with moments of true brilliance and gameplay nirvana sprinkled throughout its history starting back in 1998. Over ...

Cutscene 4: The Faux Game
(
PS3

I really, really wanted to enjoy this game as much as possible. However, when it comes down to it this isn't really a game at all, but more like a interactive cutscene. I'm not sure if it was the cultural divide between Japan and America that made the dialogue so ...

Badly In Need of Editors
(

There's a gem of a "stealth action on the battlefield" game buried deep within this title. It has an excellent amount of combat depth, an extensive moveset, and a complex weapon upgrading system that makes the battlefield stealth a blast to play and gives it tons of replayability.Unfortunately, that excellent ...

Fans of Hideo Kojima’s confusing, complex and downright compelling Metal Gear series will lap up every last overly cinematic second of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, although newcomers to the series may have an adverse reaction to the series’ final instalment. It’s just over 20 years since ...

Something of a Beautiful Failure

Metal Gear Solid 4 is a beautiful failure for a game and an extremely average CGI Anime extravaganza. If it wasn't called Metal Gear Solid 4 or made by Hideo Kojima MGS 4 would be getting roundly booed. Where Metal Gear Solid 4 has a game (and not a student ...

The game visually is quite stunning. It blew me away at how visually deep it was. The attention to detail was insane. Then again, from the PS3 games I've been playing, all the games tend to be visually stunning. The story was a disappointment. I thought Kojima and co could've ...

While I agree MGS4 is a fun game and well worth playing, it is not graphically that great and is plagued by incredibly small area's between loading (the city level being the prime example, little detail or npc's, but laoding every 1 or 2 streets) most of which are pretty ...

Fulfilling conclusion to an otherwise convulted franchise
(

The crux of the issue with a triple A title such as Metal Gear Solid 4 is that fan expectations intersect violently with Sony's need to bring more casual gamers to the fray. Sony's immense market share lead has dwindled, and with a last-place-in-the-standings ranking (at least in the American ...

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 ...
