The Greatest Game of All Time.

Yeah, that's a pretty big title to give a game. I have played every single Metal Gear game. I have played this game 5 times now, and every-time I was blown away at how detailed this game is. Engaging the story was, and the unforgettable boss battles. The pacing is phenomenal, never gets stale or boring. You play in so many different locales, and each one is crafted beautifully. Tight controls, some of the best ever since RE4, which has the best in the biz. Thee best graphics I have ever laid eyes on. What else can I say. What a treat it is to be able to play an amazing game like this. If you don't have a PS3, then this game is the perfect reason to get it. i was never gonna get a PS3. I only got it cus of this game. Its that great.

One solid snake of a game

Metal gear solid is the greatist metal gear game in the series. The epic saga of snake has ended with a bigger boom than 1500 sticks of tnt wrapped in 5 tons of c4 and then a fuse lit by Chuck Norris! This game is EPIC. Now let's get down to buisiness. THE STORY: The story has to be the best story ive seen on a video game ever. If you have ever played a metal gear game than you will know that theres no such thing as a bad metal gear solid game. The story in mgs4 follows the story of old snake who has aged very quikly do to his cloneing but that doesn't stop snake. If you know anything about snake than you'll know that he's the man that never quit's no matter how tough thing's get. Mgs4 answers alot of questions that the other metal gear solid games never did and the opening of these closed doors leads to a better understanding of snakes universe, and in turn help's you enjoy the game even more. THE GAMEPLAY: The gameplay in mgs4 is absoulutley outstanding. I want you to do somthing before you play the game, i want you to think about metal gear solid's combat and completely forget about it. This is the metal gear that you never saw coming, they have switched the fighting machanic around completely but in the best way possible. Instead of the regular far sighted shooting that you all know they have brought the camera into an over the shoulder view so you can aim better. It just feels so natural to the way the game plays that it feels like the over the shoulder view has been with us in the metal gear series this whole time. THE GRAPHICS: The graphics are amazing. When your playing a game like resistence or legendary everything is a bit to polished that leads to somthing that i call the plado affect. The plado effect is when a game is so polished that it looks almost like everything is made out of ice everything is so smooth that it looks like plado. But in mgs4 the plado effect is gone. The feeling and the overall atmosphere of the game setting feels dirty and gritty. But that makes the game just that much more realistic.
THE WEAPONS: The weapons span from knifes to pistols to machine guns and all the way to rocket launchers and your bare hands. The weapon custimization is also very very in depth. Think call of duty4 meet's socom and has a baby. THE ITEMS: The list of items goes on forever and my favorite item is the i-pod thats right you heard me the i-pod. Hey, snake has to listen to some good old music somtimes to ya know. Now that you get the basic idea of what mgs4 has evolved to i hope that you'll please consider buying metal gear solid 4. If you own a ps3 than this should be in your top three games to buy. Now go out there and have gargantuan amounts of fun.

Metal Gear Awesome

I used to think that there were only three truly amazing games-BioShock,Call of Duty 4, and Half-Life 2-but any doubts about Koijima not being an amazing person was immediatly shot down the moment i popped this game in. the PS3 had few decent games before this -Uncharted, Resistance- but this game single-handedly brings the PS3 back from suckyness. Buy this game.
