    2008 GOTY!!!

    Everybody is familiar with Kojima's Metal Gear series. Metal Gear Solid 4 is the final chapter in Snake's epic journey on the Playstation 3. I won't go into too many details in this review because most have already read the many praising reviews or experienced this great game by now. I'll keep it short and simple:

    Gameplay: 10 (5 stars)

    Sound: 10 (5 stars)

    Graphics: 10 (5 stars)

    Lasting Appeal: 10 (5 stars)

    Overall: 9.9 (5 stars)

    Now I'm sure you're asking, how can I give it 10s in all the major categories and give it an overall score of 9.9. Well, it's simple...nothing in this world is perfect and although MGS4 comes close it gets a 9.9 due to the fact that this is Snake's last epic and crazy journey. I wish Kojima would create another follow up title, but he has stated that this will be the last one he produces and Snake's final mission which hurts me. Thank you Kojima for the 20+ years and thank you for giving the world a look into your crazy world. You are a great storyteller and I know I will personally miss the ride that is Metal Gear.

    Anyone with a PS3 will love the experience that is MGS4 and fans of the series will not be disappointed until you realize that it's over. Now...on to Metal Gear Online...I'm personally looking to collect as many dogtags possible so beware!!!

      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 4: Guns of the Patriots (Limited Edition)(PlayStation 3) by microwavedapple on July 21, 2008

      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 ...
