    An Epic Conclusion to Solid Snake's Saga!

    Wow!  If I were to sum this game up with one word, it would be wow!  This game is visually stunning, amazingly epic and the best reason to own a Playstation 3 so far.   Everything about this game is amazing, the graphics, the game play, the story, the finale, this game is the closest thing to bridging movies and games together into one ultimate bundle.   The downside to this is of course the fact that you might spend more time watching amazing cut-scenes rather than actually playing the game.  Now don't get me wrong, the game play is plentiful and is completely awesome, but you do spend the vast majority of your time just watching the game's cut scenes, which is significantly evident towards the latter half of the game.  If you are a fan of the Metal Gear Solid series then this game is a must own.   Of course, even if your not, this game is worth a shot because the control scheme and game play mechanics have received a much needed face lift.  The camera is no longer a big issue and the game moves flawlessly from cut scene to game play with no loading  at all.  This game is a technical powerhouse and if you have an HDTV then this is going to blow you away. 

    Pros:  Great Story, Amazing Graphics, Good Game play, Breath-taking Sound Quality


    Cons:  Loading times between Acts, Length of Game (It was too awesome to end, took 10-15hrs)

      Metal Gear solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is without a doubt the ultimate Metal Gear experience for any fan of the series and an absolute must have for any PS3 owners looking for a good game and a reason to justify their purchase of a PS3. It pretty much answers every question you had on its previous entries. Metal Gear solid 4 has been completely re hauled in the gameplay department. It plays very different from it's predecessors. Although at the same time it's more accessible to western audie...

      MGS4 blurs the line between cinematography and gameplay. 0

      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 ...
