    With the crazy rush of MGS4 complete it was time to unwrap my copy and sit down to check the multiplayer out. Over the last few hours I have been thinking about this game and the ups and downs to it. At first I thought it was perfect but the more I am playing it the more I am seeing things that need to be fixed. Read more

    Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is a stellar entry in the series and ultimately one of the most rewarding videogame experiences of the decade. Absolutely essentially, regardless whether you are a fan or not. Read more

    • Unprecedented audio/visual quality, Highly immersive storyline, Engaging and varied gameplay
    • Minor framerate/visual inconsistencies

    This game is definitely one worth playing over and over again especially since there’s a lot of back story to go through to determine who Snake really is once and for all. The latest Snake performs with the same grace and skills as in his previous games. Read more

    • Awesome storyline with new twists to the plot in every chapter, great music and familiar and new characters to interact with.
    • Camera angle is a little awkward, elements in the environment hinders snake’s ability to use a sniper rifle and even the Solid Eye. The game also has way too many flas...

    Despite being over a year old, the graphics are very good. The gritty, cursed world of Boletaria will truly come to life in front of any player brave enough to play this game. The overall art style is excellent. You really feel as if you’ve stepped into a medieval kingdom plagued by a dark demonic curse that is turning everything lifeless. The character models are all incredibly detailed, despite the not-so good look of the character's face in the creation menu. Read more

    • A very though game, immense feeling of satisfaction after each battle won.
    • Slight physics bugs and very high difficulty that will frustrate most, but invigorate some.

    STORYLINE - the movie-quality story is as great as the previous Metal Gear Solid series -- and with this ending, there's twist after twist. GRAPHICS / SOUNDS - still the best graphics combined with great sound effects. METAL GEAR ONLINE - free online multiplayer (TPS with a hint of FPS). ET CETERA - just get the game and see for yourself. Read more

    Awesome game, really good ending to the saga, the bonus content is great, and the box as well, if you are a fan of MGS, you should buy it! The box is the same height of a regular PS3 game BTW, when i first saw it i thought it was bigger, just for you to know. Read more

    First of all, I wish I could ask the two... gentlemen... who gave this game a bad review and ask them if they have ever played any Metal Gear game. If you have never played one of them before DO NOT START WITH THIS GAME! The storyline can be confusing enough even if you've played through every game. Also, every other MGS game has about 50% dialogue, 30% Sneaking around, and 20% shooting. This game is all about stealth. Read more

    • Fans of MGS finally get their payoff, and everything is finally resolved.
    • Controls takes some getting used to, and not quite up to par with the series.
