Now this game is gonna be nominated for game of the year whether you like it or not. The story is captivating and fun, but multiplayer is still not impressing me. Don't get me wrong, it's great, but they could have done better. It might just be me, but it kept getting errors and it would quit the game. Very long stroy, good story, best characters I've ever seen in a game, and great customization lead it to 5 stars anyway.

This might be the GREATEST GAME EVER made!!

MGS4 might be the greatest, if not one of the top 5 games ever made. It lives up to and crushes the hype that surrounded it. I have never played a game in 20+ years of gaming that has ever been this close to perfection. The visuals are just jaw-dropping and the best ever produced on any console or PC. The audio, everything from the sound effects and voice acting to the musical score is top notch.
The storytelling, while pretty involving, is some of the best and most original ever in a game. The gameplay is completely wide open to however you want to play it. Stealth, run and gun, a mix of both, it doesn't matter, it's up to you. The tight controls just add to the already solid experience that this provides.

I know people are going to whine and complain about the long cut scenes, but this just adds to the game. Either that or some people have the attention span of a 2 year old!? I don't consider the long cut to be a negative, but of course some people will and that is probably gonna be the only and most frequent complaint that people have. Bottom line is this game is worth every penny and then some. It's an absolute shame that games this good only come along a few times every console generation. Can't wait for MGS5!!

love and hate

Pros Cons
Amazing visuals Terrible multiplayer
Tight controls

One can complain: one can say the cut-scenes are long, online is terrible -- actually now that I recall I wasn't absorbed until halfway but playing it a second time I'm hooked, so if you accept what the game is and can live with the idea that the cut-scenes are as important as the gameplay you will be in heaven (as you can guess it's a love and hate even when you love it).

One of the Best!

This is one of the best games i have played. Not only is it possible to play through the whole game without firing a shot, you can also unlock many awesome things. I have played through the series and this had to be my favorite!

I would not only recommend this to any PS3 owner, but any true gamer!
