Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots PS3
Amazon.com Product Description
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. 
Old timer Snake returns for what is slated as the final installment in the Metal Gear series. View larger. |

PMCs have run amok and the world is at war. View larger. | 
Octacamo will help Snake blend into surroundings. View larger. | 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.

 Sad to see Snake go. July 5, 2008
Simply awe-inspiring from start to finish. It really does bring the Metal Gear saga full circle. It even manages to make Raiden seem cool. Kojima-San honors us with devotion to his craft. A true masterpiece for the PS3 and one reason you must own a PS3.
2008 Game of the Year July 4, 2008
This is one of the best next gen games released so far. The graphics are awesome and the gameplay is great. Some of the cutscenes in this game go over 20 minutes but they are worth watching. The story is superb as it finishes the story line from the Metal Gear Solid franchise. For those that never played any Metal Gear solid game I recommend you to buy "Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection" it contains all of the first three Metal gear solid games and they are great btw. It's selling for $29.99
The first metal gear solid game came out for the PS1 and the other two came out for the PS2. For those that can't buy it because you can't play PS2 games I would have to say maybe check wikipedia and read all of the story line of previous games otherwise if you have no clue about the metal gear solid world you will get lost. You won't know who this person is and why he is doing that and what not. You won't be able to enjoy this great game. So I recommend you knowing things about this franchise before buying this game. Bottom line is this game is a must own by every PS3 owner. That's how good it is.
Would not change a thing... July 4, 2008
There is only one disappointing thing I can come up with for this game... it ended! This is by far the new king of the PS3. It is a must own. Awesome gameplay, great story, excellent graphics. If you are already a fan of the series, you will love it. If you have never played a Metal Gear game before, I suggest downloading the Metal Gear Solid Database for free from the Playstation network. It will help fill in the back-story, and let you enjoy the game's story even more. I have beaten this game twice, once on normal and once on big boss hard. I haven't even touched multiplayer yet, which I think can only add to this games value. I can express enough how much I enjoyed this adventure. Buy it, and you won't be disappointed.
a title that exceeds all of the hype July 3, 2008
Is it possible to give a game an 11? If so, this would be the game that would merit that score. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is a title that exceeds all of the hype that was attached to the title. Regardless of whether you've seen every trailer and screenshot, read every preview and heard every interview, you won't get a full sense of how phenomenal this title is unless you sit down and experience it for yourself.
The best game ever July 3, 2008
