It seems that Kojima's mind is on war. Given the current state of world politics, that's not surprising. "When I was young and I thought about war, it was always about the 1970s and Vietnam. Jungle warfare," Kojima says. "Now it's different for everybody." Hence Metal Gear Solid 4's Middle Eastern setting, one of many Snake will visit over the course of the game. (Kojima Productions has researched South America and Eastern Europe as well). Kojima has released only footage from the Middle Eastern segment, but that's because he's deliberately evoking common themes found in countless other first-person shooters. "At first, you may feel [MGS4> is based on the same old FPS scenarios," he says, "but it is not and that is deliberately so." In fact, Kojima nearly set Metal Gear Solid 4 against the backdrop of a full-blown World War III, which he thought could serve as a suitably big "finale" for the series. But then Kojima wrote off the idea of World War III entirely, switching gears to a new, darker premise that would set Snake amidst a non-stop cycle of war-for-profit fought by private military companies (PMCs). Looking back, Snake's old adventures seem almost laughably cartoonish compared to this game's grim, unrelenting vision of never-ending war. War planes darken the skies, while monstrous bio-engineered bipeds prowl from building to building, looking to crush enemy combatants with their powerful legs. It's into this blighted world that series protagonist Solid Snake returns...but he's seen better days. The new and improved Snake

MGS Series. You can never get tired of it while hideo kojima and his team can always put a smile on ur face.This game features i heard a 90 hr gameplay which is worth it because the game takes place all over the world.The new camoflage sytem enables snake to blend in to his enviroment while fooling the guards and mini metal gears.the new eye piece enables you to have beter aim so that you get a perfect shot. the face paint and camoflage sytem will be back but the snaeking suit with the camoflage sytem bulit into it is way beter. of course all of our favorite characters will be in it,Ocelot,Dr.Naomi Hunter,Colonel Campbell,Otacon,Meryl And of course the new raiden who appears to be a cyborg and really is. the reason why he looks so palein the face and everywhere else is because he has white atrificial blood and has an syrum which makes him almost completly indestructible.This game will no dought in my mind be the best game of the year! Oh yeah and in the trailers when snake is saluting a grave? that is still a secret will have to find out! I give this game a 10.0 instead of a 5.0
