Users can choose a variety of camera angles to us Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, is a next-gen experience complete with top-of-the-line graphics and surround sound designed for the Sony PlayStation 3. Featuring the most revealing display of Kojima Production's premier title, MSG4 details the world where Snake must under go his final mission. In a world overrun by private military companies (PMCs), wars are no longer fought over nations or ideologies. Instead, the wars of the future are micro-managed by overarching PMCs, right down to the bullet. New gadgets and abilities fuel Snake's journey deep into the enemy domains of the Middle East, South America, and beyond. New gear includes "Metal Gear Mk. II," the ultimate reconnaissance tool, and "Solid Eye," which gives Snake real-time information on enemies and his surroundings. Joined by a familiar cast of characters, Snake must once again return to the battlefield to confront his lifelong rival, Liquid Ocelot, who is manipulating the world's wars from the one world where soldiers will always have a place. But Liquid Ocelot is not the only one who will be able to manipulate the world's wars--Snake can destabilize opposing forces by working behind the scenes, supporting the local militia as they fight PMCs, creating a smokescreen that allows Snake to move freely within the war-zone. MGS4 is a next-generation adventure set in the aftermath of MGS2: Sons of Liberty. The concept behind the latest Metal Gear Solid project is "no place to hide," and this edition in the series will force Snake into unexpected circumstances with an all-new storyline that breaks away in some ways from the previous MGS franchise entries. We don't want to spoil it for you, but, producer Hideo Kojima did reveal some very juicy tidbits about the game and the storyline when it was first announced at E3 of 2006. "Until now," said Kojima, "we've released two entries of the MSX2 Metal Gear series, and three entries in the Metal Gear Solid series. Add to this Portable Ops, and you get a total of six titles. All mysteries will be cleared up in Metal Gear Solid 4." Kojima was very clear about the finality of MSG4, leaving gamers to wonder, "Will Snake die?!" When asked if the story will come to this sort of an end, Kojima responded without the slightest bit of vagueness, "It will come to an end." The MGS4 E3 trailer showed a number of characters from the Metal Gear and Metal Gear Solid histories. This final installment is sure to deliver loads of cameos, in fact, it is rumored that nearly all the characters from the series will make an appearance. In addition to a return of classic Metal Gear Solid characters, the gameplay systems from part three are also expected to make a comeback. The camouflage system from part three will make it into MGS4, with the addition of "OctoCamo," Snake's most advanced stealth suit to date. The name appears to be formed from the words "Octopus" and "camoflauge," and players will be awestruck by the chameleon-like camo that changes with the surroundings. OctoCamo allows Snake to blend in with his environment as it digitally manifests nearby textures in real time. Think if it this way, if Snake is standing next to a wall worn out with holes, he too will appear to be riddled with holes. It has also been revealed that MGS4 will have online play, but no specifics have been released. Although very little information is known about the game's visuals, rumor has it that MGS4 is expected to be the finest representation of console graphics on the PS3, and it is expected that they will just get better and better as the game nears its release date.

    • Full circle... a seamless panorama of gameplay and film elements
I will start with the obvious, the game looks beautiful. The graphical quality does not change between cutscenes and gameplay. Kojima and his team pulled out all the stops on the beauty of this game, as they have always striven to do. SPOILER ALERT Then there is the story. A lot of people harp on the Metal Gear Series because the story is full of twists. One person even said that the plot was twists and only twists. That person missed the point completely. Especially by the end of this game, it becomes apparent what Kojima had been pushing for. The message about humanity is clear... the MGS series has always been anti-war, anti-genetic determinism, anti-environmental determinism, every mistake that humanity has ever made with regards to war and control of the populous has been addressed in some way. Consider the history through which Kojima derives his inspiration. His home country of Japan experienced an apocalypse during WWII while causing an apocalypse in mainland Asia at the same time. In all situations of war no matter who begins the fight or where it starts or ends, the young will repeat the mistakes of the old, and the old will let the knowledge gained from their mistakes slip away with death. Even the most heinous actions, deception, murder, are a means to an end, and the end is all that really matters. SPOILERS OVER Gameplay was spectacular. The MGS franchise is one of very few that has made significant gameplay improvements with every subsequent release. Control of Snake feels much more fluid, yet at the same time you can feel his age in the way he performs. Though he is more agile and powerful than the average human could ever be, he isn't quite the same old Snake. He is THE Old Snake. Old Snake gets a lot of neat toys in this game, too. Most notably is his chameleon suit. If he lays flat, his suit will automatically adopt the pattern of the materials that are on the floor. By pressing the "triangle" button while up against a wall, he will adopt those coverings as well. The second great toy is Drebin's shop. Drebin is a weapons launderer who gives Old Snake full access to replacement ammo and other supplies. ID Locked weapons can be converted to old-world weapons that do not require nanomachine permissions. There are A LOT of weapons in this game. First time through you probably won't get to experience all of them, and that is okay. Just check them out on your next run. The game is only about 10-15 hours long depending on how you choose to play. Also, through Drebin's shop Old Snake can modify his weapon. The first weapon, the M4 Custom is a good all-purpose weapon. It packs a decent punch and holds 30 rounds. It can be modded with a shotgun attachment, grenade launcher, or foregrip for stability. Laser sights and scopes can also be added to the M4 and other select weapons. So play around and have fun. Toy #3 is the Metal Gear Mark II, Hal's minature Metal Gear Rex that is mostly harmless...mostly. When you need a buddy to turn the corner and remain unseen for you, Mark II can cast an invisibility cloak and make sure the coast is clear. If things get sticky, it has a shock wire function to incapacitate unsuspecting foes. The same tool can be used to knock on surfaces to distract your enemies and guide them away from Old Snake's true position. It is a neat little gadget that you may or may not find to be useful. Next up, the enemies. In this game, it is impossible to hate the enemies you fight (except for Vamp) because they are amazing, flat-out. Whether they are GECKOS (bipedal beast machines), FROGS (all-female supersoldiers), or Private Military Company militia-men (remnants of their humanity will keep you grounded), or the Beauty and the Beast Corps (best enemies in of all time in videogames?), enemies are not just targets. Kojima and his crew made the enemies in this game characters to be admired. They neither have names nor faces, but they will f*** your day up very quickly if you do not respect their power. From the top down, they are all capable killers. The humanity of this game lies within Snake's allies. Meryl, Eva, Hal, the Colonel, Mae Ling, Raiden, Rosemary, Naomi, and especially Sunny represent the other side of life. Old Snake is a manufactured product of war, the only life he has ever known. No machine can imitate or destroy the compassion that these individuals shared. This is passion. I won't go on, can't explain much else without major spoilers. Gameplay, people, visuals, this game is stunning. Metal Gear Sold 4 exemplifies why videogames deserve to be celebrated as art. It has the story worthy of novel publishing, breath-taking visuals, engrossing music, and an all-around realism that we celebrate in paintings such as the Mona Lisa. If only more videogame producers put this much time and effort into a game. Production for perfection... long hours, perspiration, and inspiration to produce the culmination of one's efforts... that is art... this is art. If you are a casual gamer, this is not for you. If you have never played the other MGS games, this is probably not for you. Play through MGS1-3 in order to get the story and gameplay straight, and then play MGS4. For everyone who has been trying to compare this game to COD and HALO...come on. MGS4 is not a pure shooter. They put it nice and bold on the cover, "Tactical Espionage Action". That means be sneaky and use force only as needed. Play a "shooter" and judge other shooters with it. MGS4 is NOT, I repeat, is NOT a shooter. Could this go down as one of the best games of all time? Absolutely. Game of the Year? For sure. It is in a league of its own. Nothing else plays like it. Few other games are as engrossed in the mystique of political/sci-fi conspiracy. Too few have such dedicated stories. In most games, the producer's passion is not as apparent. MGS4 had a 105 degree fever with Kojima's ardor for gaming perfection. The game feels like he and his team cared. Gameplay 5 Video 5 - Cutscenes are long but not at all boring Audio 5 Story 5 ... show more

    • THIS IS ONE GREAT GAME
(TO START READING REVIEW, SCROLL DOWN TO WHERE IT SAYS "METAL GEAR SOLID 4 REVIEW") The core concept of the MGS series had always had my interest. And I'm not what you would call a hardcore fan. It's always been ahead of it's time in every aspect. Game play, graphics, and story. I first experienced the MGS series with: Metal Gear Solid: Sons Of Liberty on the PS2, and to be honest, It was alright. Even though I wasn't crazy about it, I have to say it utilized graphics and game play pretty well on the ps2. Which is how the series held my interest for other MGS titles. MGS4 is an amazing game. I love games with stealth and tactful game play. And MGS4 delivers in aces. Now I know a lot of people can't get into it even if this is a genre you love, and I was the same way at first. There's many reasons as to why people can't get into it, and I think I should list them in detail to see if MGS 4 and the MGS series is something you'd be interested in or not. MGS at it's core is a stealth game requiring you to think and use different tactics. In some ways, MGS is like the Hitman franchise. But even so, there are things about the MGS series that detract people even if this is a genre they like. These might be some of the reasons: - Maybe you find the games interface to be confusing or over complex. - Long cut scenes - Women characters are over sexualized - Stories over your head, or it's of no interest to you - MGS is a Japanese game, therefore, it's heavily influenced by that culture. And some people have no interest in Japanese anime like material or anything similar or along those lines in any type of form and medium. Now, these were my reasons for why I couldn't get into the series at first. If everything or one thing of what I had mentioned was a reason for you not liking or getting into the series, then maybe give it another try. MGS series is a series that has a big learning curve to it. You have to take your time to really get into it. MGS is one of the best if not the best when it comes to stealth and tactics. METAL GEAR SOLID 4 REVIEW MGS4 is a love letter to MSG fans and stealth fans alike. Kojima, the creator and director of the game and the series went all out to ensure the quality of this game. Story: You could try to to understand the story, it's possible to get most of it if you really pay attention, but it's pretty hard to unless you've played previous MGS titles. If you're a fan or want to get into the series, Konomi late last year released MGS HD Collection on PS3 and xbox 360. It contains MGS 2, 3, and Peace Walker. You definitely would have a much better understanding of the story, but like I said, "It's possible to get most of MGS 4 on it's own if you really pay attention." Graphics: The graphics of this game are up to par with games of 2010 to now. MGS has always had top notch graphics, and it really shows in this game. It's hard to believe it came out in 2008, considering just how well polished the game is. I was just amazed at how detailed it was for being a 2008 release. Audio: The voice acting, music, and sound in this game is fantastic. Everything was in sync and delivered beautifully. Game play: game play at first, especially if you're playing a MGS game for the first time can be confusing and seem complicated, or frustrating. Like I said before, this game and all previous MGS games have a learning curve to them and it'll take sometime to get use to. Once you get the hang of it it's a blast. Every things responsive and runs smoothly. You're given a variety of options at your disposal. Numerous guns and other items you have can be used to out do and takeout enemies. You can grab enemies from behind use them as a shield, knock their weapon away, choke, sedate( 2 ways), throw down, drag them, or use your knife to take them out. Enemies can be placed in lockers or hid in isolated or dark areas. If you're spotted by an enemy they'll go on high alert for 100 seconds and seek you out. Ration and Noodle packs can be found and are used to restore your health. Your character(snake) is given some pretty sweet gadgets like: the solid eye which can be used as night vision and binoculars. The octocam suit and octo mask allow you to blend into your environment. The codec can be used and is used to communicate with other characters, and they can help you in your missions. The Metal Gear Mk. II is a remote mobile terminal that can carry out a variety of task, including reconaissance, weapons and item pick up and transport, it can emit an electrical shock to stun enemies, and access computer ports for data transfer. And I'm sure I'm missing a few little things here and there, but there's A LOT of ways to use tactics and stealth in this game. level designs are great, and the developers did a great job of making the world seem a live. Everything feels fantastic, and you can tell that Kojima Productions and developers Konomi went all out to make sure everything in this game worked to near flawlessness. CONS: I have one small gripe about this game and that's vaulting over walls and objects. There are areas in this game were it's clear that your character(Snake)could vault over areas like a log or wall but can't. It surprised me for a game that's trying to be realistic. But in no way did this cause me to dislike or lose interest for the game or game play. I just found it to be odd. Verdict: Now this games not for everyone and it's a game that can be hard to get into, but this is an amazing game that had a lot of work and dedication put into it as all the previous MGS games did. This is a AAA title, and an exclusive to the PS3 that's definitely worth a purchase if you're a fan or into stealth and tactic game play. I'd give this game a 9 out of 10. And really, in my honest opinion, this is one of the greatest series in gaming that's always had great production value and dedication behind it. ... show more
