Summary: Solid Snake vs Liquid
Comment: I have been a long time player of the metal gear series all the way back to when he debuted on the Nintendo Entertainment System. This game is not the final mission of Solid Snake. I beg to differ, may I say something a little cliched? It is only the beginning. This latest edition to the Metal Gear series sets the tone for the "final battle" between long foes. Snake has aged in the game series to an old man; but fear not later in the game you can unlock the face-camo that shows snake as a young snake. You travel from continent to another tracking liquid and trying to finally find him. You meet up with familier allies: Colonel, Raiden, Otacon, Sunny, Meryl, Zero, Solidus, Liquid, Vamp to name a few. But this game holds non-stop action. You will finally be revealed the reason why Snake is aging so quickly. Be on guard for a lot of cut-scenes cuz Hideo Kojima displays a lot of in between "mini movies" so the actual gametime is really approx. 2-3 hrs of actual time if you stormed through it without stealth. But for those of you who are die-hard Metal Gear fans who grew up with the series back in the mid 1980's era you will want this.

Summary: Great Movie/Game
Comment: I played this back when it first came out. Recently purchased it again to go back through the game. Have put over 14 hours into it on the first go round. I really have enjoyed the interactive cinematics and polished gameplay. Hideo did a great job on this one and I hope to see another PS3 MGS from him in the future. Very enjoyable title and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Summary: Crap Storytelling Soils Kojima's Legacy
Comment: MGS4 is an abomination to the series. Fanboys will try to tell you that the series was never about story, but that's really ALL it was about. There were better stealth games on the market. There were better shooters. There were better action games. The story is the reason one played a Metal Gear game, and this game's story sucks. The 2 hour ending is an embarrassment even to garbage filmsters like Uwe Boll. It's cringe-worthy at times. My wife passed by as the ending was playing and laughed at how awful it was. Seriously, as the exclamation point to a once-storied series, this is like seeing a cockroach on a wedding cake. Sure, much of the story's asshattery comes from the fecund bunch of mush mouth blab that was Sons of Liberty, but for God's sake, Gun of the Patriots makes SOL's narrative look like Shakespeare. I'm not even joking. This is a trash story that ruined my favorite series. Do yourself a favor: play Snake Eater and stop right there. That's Kojima at his best and brightest -- this is like seeing your childhood idol shooting smack in an alleyway. So sad, Hideo. So, so sad.

Summary: Pleasantly surprised
Comment: I bought this because if you had a PS3 you pretty are required to play it. So I saw it on here for 20 bucks and said why not. I played through the game and all I can say is wow. I haven't played any of the previous Metal Gears but I still enjoyed this game A LOT. If you are considering getting this game just buy it.
The graphics are great (Some weird anomalies here and there just like any game would)
Voice acting is probably the best I've heard.
Half the time when I was playing it people thought I was watching a movie. Thats how good the graphics are!
Definitely happy with this purchase.
