 - Mgs4-amazing!I dont understand why alot of people complain about the cut scenes, its is the last installment so they have to tie up loose endings[ which were alot] MGS4 is and was one of the best games that i have played in my life. I was so drawn into the story, and this was the first time i played an MGS game. If you are a ps3 owner, this is a must have. I personally think that this game is better than COD4[ which is my all-time favorite game] Rating: - MasterpieceLet me start by saying this game is not for everyone. The good news is, Kojima has crafted an icredible story for the game, tying up all of the loose ends and pulling together all of the prior games, all the way back to the beginning. They've taken all the best from the previous games and made the perfect Metal Gear Solid, with plenty of nods to previous games in the series. The music is, as always, inspiring, the graphics are incredible, and the controls are easily picked up by those of us who have played the previous installments in the series. But therein lies the bad news: the game can be hard to grasp for people who are new to the series. The controls take a little time to grow used to if you aren't already familiar with their general layout, and the story, though brilliantly told, can be hard to grasp for those who haven't played the previous games. I'd imagine it would be like watching the Matrix Revolutions before the original Matrix. All the graphics and cutscenes in the world won't make it easier to understand. Finally, the Metal Gear Solid series is known for it's movie-like feel, involving lots of cutscenes and extensive voice acting. It all makes for an incredible experience, but those of you who love to pop in a game and play it from start to finish will be disappointed. There are many cutscenes, some of which are incredibly long, and the Codec conversations can take a lot of time as well, slowing the pace of the game somewhat. These conversations and cutscenes can all be skipped (thankfully), but doing so would obviously prevent you from understanding the story the first time you play through. On one final note: This is not a FPS. It does not say 'First Person Shooter' on the cover of the game. It says 'Tactical Espionage Action'. However you can use the First Person point of view while aiming if you'd like. All in all, this is an incredible game. It isn't a game for everyone, but this can be solved by simply playing the three other Metal Gear Solid games beforehand to prepare for it, all of which were re-released recently as a collection. For those of us who are already fans of the series, it would be a SIN not to get this game, and FoxDie is being specialized for your genetic code as we speak. =D Rating:  - A Good GameI don't usually like giving negative reviews, but with all the hooplah surrounding this game, I thought I had to at least voice my opinion. I was a huge fan of the other MGS games on the PS3, so when I heard about this game and saw the previews for it, I was anticipating and expecting a lot. I went and bought it the weekend it came out and started playing it immediately. After finishing the game a few days later, I realized that I wasn't entirely satisfied. I'm not sure what it is, but it was a combination of a tired, drawn-out story, overly long cinematic sequences, and a lack of exciting gameplay. I hate to say it, but this was a GOOD game at best for me. Rating:  - Worst.Online.Game.EverSeriously. I loved MGS 1-3. Story mode in MGS4 is not horrible. However, I really expected more from Metal Gear Online. Graphics are amazing, but gameplay is sluggish and extremely difficult to master. Absolutely hate it. Granted, this is a "stealth" game, but online play is pure combat simulator, and should be much more responsive. Do yourself a favor and play Call of Duty 4 instead. Rating: - METAL GEAR SOLID 4: GUNS OF THE PATRIOTS THIS GAME IS AWESOME THE GRAPHICS ARE VERY GOOD THE CUT SEENS ARE VERY GOOD A BIT LONG IN SOME PARTS BUT OVERALL VERY GOOD GAME:)
