When it comes down to it, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots provides what may easily be the most memorable experience of this generation so far. Despite being one of the most hyped games of this generation so far, every Metal Gear fan has no reason to not get Metal Gear Solid 4. If you’re one of those people that wanted to get into previous Metal Gear Solid games, but found the gameplay to not be accessible enough for you, MGS4 should be the game that welcomes... Read more

Metal Gear Solid 4 is a game which tries to do quite a lot – and succeeds. If the heavy storytelling and cutscene rate put you off previous titles, avoid this one like the plague as it probably won’t change your opinion. Although fans of the series will doubtlessly enjoy this title more than the newbies, it’s still certainly worth checking out if you’re new to MGS, at the very least for a rental. If you aren’t a big fan of Metal Gear Solid , I wouldn’t go as... Read more
Looking Back at 2008 - Metal Gear Solid 4

Reviewer: Gamers Platform

Overall 2

Metal Gear Solid 4 is by far one of the best games I have ever played in over 25 years of playing video games. Two games for the price of one with an entire movie (with all the cut-scenes counted) thrown in make the game worth every penny you could spend on it. MGS 4 is a game that can actually evoke an emotional response from me (other than tossing my controller in frustration) and I count that as a massive achievement. Read more

Amazing

Metal Gear Solid 4 is easily one of the best games I have ever played. Culminating 20 years worth of stories, MGS4 really does wrap up the whole series. The graphics in the game are amazing, and the gameplay is great. Lots to do, tons of weapons, and many different options on how to do things are left up to the player. The game also contains Metal Gear Online, which is a online multiplayer game in the vein of Metal Gear. This mode is fun and adds tons of life to the... Read more
A Ten Year Reunion - Hideo Style

It's just like your ten year high school reunion: MGS4 is full of nostalgia (and not just limited to seeing familiar characters again), but after it's all over you kind of wish for something more... meaningful. Don't be afraid of jumping in cold -- the flashbacks will make even a newly minted gamer feel like they grew up with Snake. Definitely the flagship PS-only game from a visionary game maker. Read more
"Hugely over rated"

This is right up there with Assassin's Creed and Halo 3 as the worst games I have ever wasted my money on. I am so sick of these boring, self-indulgent film clips and feeble attempts to craft a story. If they spent half as much time on developing the controls and weapons as they did on stupid cut scenes, the game would be a whole lot better. Read more

Ever since 1998, The Metal Gear Solid Series has been a force to be reckoned with, as the king of The Stealth genre.(Even beating out Splinter cell)When the 1st came out, I was blown away. Everything was amazing, the Story, Dialogue, Cinematics, The action, The graphics(for its time, anyway)I've been with the series for a while, with Playing as Pussy Raiden in 2(Don't worry, now he's Badass), playing as Big Boss/Naked Snake in 3, and now Solid Snake returns in the fourth...
