The greatest game of all time 0
This game is the and greatest game of all time!!! Hideo Kojima is a genius !! writing this review will be the biggest waste of time. Graphics: Best visuals I have ever seen in a game and no game will compete to their level for a very long time. Its so realistic its actually better than real life graphics especially when watching it from a 1080p screen ! you can see the wrinkles on snakes face !! Game play: Like any Metal gear game its almost very similar but this has a lot of extra features s...

On Metal Gear Solid 4 0
Metal Gear Solid 4 is a strange beast, but then, Metal Gear games usually are. In a lot of ways, it feels like a game designed for people who have been fans of the series at least since the first Metal Gear Solid on the original Playstation. On the other hand, several changes have been made to the gameplay that feel as though they're geared toward a more general audience. Then there are those moments when it feels as though the game has been made with little regard for anything bu...

Cutscene 4: The Faux Game 0
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 horrible, repetitive, and sometimes inappropriate- or if it was just Kojima's convoluted vision. Maybe it was poor translation? I doubt that was the only problem. The writing in this game is so terrible that if you posess any resemblenc...

OMFG ENOUGH EXPOSITION. Where is the GAME in this GAME? 0
Jesus Christ on a pogo stick. I finally finished MGS 4 last night. After skipping the last 2 cut scenes and having to sit through the unskippable/fast forwardable end credits (which I ended up pausing my console so I could pick up my kid from school), and THEN getting to the final screen, wherein Otacon and Snake are still yip yapping back and forth, I had had enough. For the love of Pete Kojima. SHUT.THE.FUCK.UP. I gave up trying to make sense of the story about a third of the way through it. E...

The End (?) 0
I should preface this review with an admission. I never actually completed the original MGS completely (only about 3/4 as I never owned a PSX). I got in on MGS 2, and quickly caught myself up on the necessary details. However, since then I've been hooked by the boss fights, the stealth, the characters and the crazy ass story that MGS turned into. When it came time for Solid Snake's last adventure, I was excited to play the game but was primarily interested in how Kojima was going to tie all ...

Metal Gear Fan Service 0
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 done better. Reason why was that things were wrapped up quite quickly. Well, I suppose that things had to end somewhere and I just found that at times, the story was ridiculous. Seriously, why all the Frogs? I sometimes ha...

BPReview: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (PS3) 0
What I liked:Cutscenes - While there were too many of them and they were way too long, the cutscenes were nicely produced and they looked really good.Areas - There are numerous levels to explore in MGS4 and each one varies nicely from the last. I just wish there was a better wooded area to explore a la MGS3.Moving - Hey look RE5 you CAN move around while shooting from the 3rd person...and it makes things alot easier.What I didn't like:Movement - Throughout the MGS series Snake has always seemed ...

If you have questions, Kojima has the answers. 0
I would like to start this review with a little description of my history or lack- thereof with the Metal Gear Solid series. I've always been interested in the plot and characters but the overall gameplay never really ( at least back when I was 9) allowed me the means to see the whole thing. Thankfully with the help of the internet, I got a very good ( though not entirely clear) explaination on most of the characters and where they were coming from. I came into MGS4 looking for answers and wel...

Remarkable synthesis of deep gameplay and captivating narrative. 0
The gameplay is vastly improved from previous games in the series, particularly the camera positioning, the control of Snake's movement and actions, which are more intuitive and tight, and the camouflage, because he now wears the OctoCamo (a suit that changes its camouflage pattern automatically when he leans against a certain surface). This allows the player to spend less time and attention on figuring out which button to press or where are the enemies and more on figuring out the best s...

A decent game held back by its Plot Delivery Mechanism. 0
Having only recently been able to afford a PS3, i've spent the last week or so playing the exclusives that i'd looked forward to prior to Sony pricing me out the market. One such title is Metal Gear Solid 4. Having been a fan of the series since MGS on the Playstation, i've been looking forward to MGS4 a fair bit and for the most part it doesnt disappoint. In MGS4 players take the role of Solid Snake, an elite infiltrator formerly of Foxhound, now currently tooling around with Otacon, ...

For what it needs to be, this game is perfect. 0
Metal Gear Solid 4 Review It is truly amazing that it’s been eight years since I last played a Metal Gear Solid I enjoyed. MGS3 just didn’t do it for me in the ways that MGS2 did and the PSP titles have never really interested me all that much. I was under no delusions when going into MGS4, I knew exactly what to expect and still maintained a little reservation due to how disappointed I was with MGS3. I cannot say how much I enjoyed this game though, it was everything I could have wanted from ...

Metal Gear Solid 4. 0
I've been a fan of the Metal Gear series for as long as I remember, having played from Metal Gear Solid 1 to 4 and loved every over-dramatic, yet entertaining and well thought out, bit of it. I've been wanting to play Metal Gear Solid 4 since it came out a couple of years ago, but I never had a PS3 until this Christmas when my dad finally got one.. for some reason. Many a time I've been scrolling up and down the Wikipedia page, deciding whether to read the story or not, and finally tie up al...

Worth buying a PS3 for 0
I dont know how to even go about reviewing this game, I'm simply blown away in every aspect. I am a huge fan on the MGS series and MGS4 was just incredible. Possibly the greatest videogame story ever written (spanning all 4 games) while confusing it all comes together and the mix of drama, action and comedy flow perfectly within the game. I've never experianced emotion when playing most games, and MGS4 makes you actually care about the characters, and I found myself almost yelling at the screen ...

Discussing Metal Gear has a lot in common with talking about religion or politics with extended family over Thanksgiving dinner: things start out amicably enough but quickly devolve into shouting, name calling, and perhaps flying mashed potatoes. If you were to put five people in a locked room and forced them to talk about it, two would love the series, two would hate the series, and the last would profess Hideo Kojima to be god incarnate, all while asking "Can love bloom on the battlefield?" in...

Arguably the best in the series 0
Metal Gear Solid 4 starts slow, but rapidly picks up and finishes with a glass-shattering slam dunk. The game has all of the components of the previous titles, with better cinematics, visuals, and gameplay. The graphics are jaw dropping, the story is emotional and wrenching, and the gameplay is to die for. I feel privileged to have been an active gamer during the generation this masterpiece decided to bless our consoles. The best part about this game is the way it puts every one of these gre...

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Review: Here's to you 0
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is the final instalment in the tale woven by Hideo Kojima and co over a period exceeding 20 years. The series which helped playstation to its success and has had some of the greatest characters in video games in it has a lot to live up to in its canonically final part, but does Metal Gear Solid 4 achieve these lofty aims? The fact of the matter is that Metal Gear Solid 4 is the definitive game in the series. It addresses nearly all the control and game pl...

Fitting end to Snake's story 0
I should start off by saying that this is not just my favorite PS3 exclusive, its also my favorite game of all time. I made the stupid decision of buying and playing this game before the others, that was when I didn't know the games were that story based. I was still blown away from playing this game the first time it was amazing to me even if I didn't know to much of the story. ( I knew the basics and characters) Though when I played after I played through the rest of the series, my mind explod...

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of The Patriot 0
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is the most technically stunning video game ever made. It's also a fine example of storytelling prowess within its medium, combining gameplay and narrative so slickly and beautifully that it's impossible to extricate one from the other. It's likely you will emerge awestruck from your first play-through, wishing the experience would continue yet nonetheless satisfied with its conclusion. It's difficult not to sound hyperbolic when discussing MGS4 because e...
