 The most advanced and best looking game ever June 14, 2008
I have all the next Gen consoles and this game by far proves that the power of the PS3 is unreal,this game took 4 years to make and I have beaten it on normal,now I will play on advanced,Kojima productions my hats off to you for the best game ever created,as much as I liked Bio Shock this game out does it by a wide margin which should make it GOTY.Being a hardcore gamer this is by far the best experience of game play I have ever played.Sony was smart to keep this as the exclusive for the PS3,and it deserves all the 10's it has gotten.
The only bad part of this game is that it ends =*[ June 14, 2008

First off, I'm a huge fan of the MGS series and have follewed it since its inception, including the original Metal Gear games on NES(Not of the "solid" series, but still pertaining to snake's background).
I'm not going to write a huge review of the gameplay because it tops almost any other game ever made, without remorse. The graphic's, score, story, and every other feature meet all expectations and anyone who says otherwise is being overly critical on a game that they would have probably been critical on even if it weren't this good, just because of all the hype.
This game truelly marks the beginning of a new era in video games, where it finally attempts to and succeeds at reaching a viable artform. Mr Kojima, I know you will not read this, but I want to thank you with all sincerity for giving me one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences of my life, one I am sure to love reliving years down the line.
This game had better beat grand theft auto 4 for game of the year as well...great game that is, but when you couple gameplay that is slightly better and a story that completelly blows away the laughable load of crap the "story" is in that game, you can't debate who the winner is. Snake, R.I.P. wherever you are =*[
Snakes Last Stand... June 14, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is one of the (if not THE) greatest achievement in gaming history. It creates a new standard for not only stealth & action games but for all genres period. This is the last game where Solid Snake will play the main protagonist in the MGS series, and this proves to be his most heroris mission yet. The MGS series has always been knowned for its presentation, and this ones no different...the presentation beats the hell out of movies these days and no game I know has the kind of presentation that MGS4 does. The gamplay has changed and probably for the better, the new over the shoulder shooting style fits the game very well and its the best thing that could have happened to the gameplay in my opinion. The graphics and sound are the best I have ever witnessed, even Mass Effect or Halo 3 can't beat this. The game may not sell millions of copies like Halo 3 or GTA IV but it beats those games in gamplay and presentation bar none.
Things have changed, Solid Snake is aging super fast and has less than a year to live in the world. But B4 he dies he has one final mission to do and that is to stop Liquid Ocelot (his brother) from controlling the world. Snake cannot do it alone so characters new and old show up to his aid to help defeat Liquid once and for all. The Game is truly breathtaking and allows certain freedom that previous Metal Gear games didn't allow u to do. For example you can either choose to kill or not kill whoever you want and it effects the game completetly. The game is taking place in wartime between the PMC's and militia and if u so happen to help militia or the PMC's they will help you in favor. The game is so diverse in so many aspects that it is truly overwhelming, over 70 weapons and items at ur disposel, new gadgets like the Metal Gear Mk.II adds a new take on the game and allows players to strategize be4 they do anything else. The new weapon system is similar to Resident Evils system of weapons where you can purchase and sell items to a gun launderer named Drebin in real time whether ur in a boss battle or just walking around scouting the area, the new system really comes in handy. The Game is truly a masterpeice and will impact the gaming world without a doubt.
PROS:
PRESENTATION - The Metal Gear series has always been known for its gripping storyline and breathtaking cutscenes and this one is no different. From the minute you start playing you alrady feel like you are part of the game, thats how powerful it is. (10/10
GAMEPLAY - the game provides diverse gamplay for both practical and veteran players. The new over-the-shoulder aiming system to the new weapons system to the new gadgets like the Metal Gear Mk.II OctoCamo and even an "IPOD" the game is really fun to play and mess around with. (9.5/10)
GRAPHICS - the game is BEAUTIFUL in every aspect. To the character models faces to the shadow and particle effects. This is the best looking game I have ever seen, it has one of the most realistic water effects in any game, the dirt and snow effects are surreal. Every little technical detail is amazing, this game beats the rest out of the park in graphics, I haven't yet seen a prettier game. (10/10)
SOUND - This is where the game really shines, the voice acting is the best in the business. Long-time fans will never get enough of David Hayters voice (Solid Snakes voice) he improvises since Snake is now Old Snake emphasis on the "Old" part. The voice-acting is so natural that you would actually believe these characters were real-life people. The music by again "Harry Gregson-Williams" with Nobuko Toda is breathtaking, the orchaestra is masterful full of strings and piano and horns and really creates the atmosphere of the game. (10/10)
MULTIPLAYER - I haven't played the full versio yet because Im still playin the campaign but I was involved in the beta couple mothes back and it is pretty damn good. If you play the campaign than the multiplayer should be second nature because the gamplay mechanics is the same, even the drebin point system is involved in the multiplayer. If you played the old MGO (Metal Gear Online) that came with MGS3: Subsistence, it is nothing like that infortunately. Personally the old MGO was a lot more fun and faster with pretty simple mechanics but the new one is a little awkward. It is slower and a bit more complicated but technically its the same...kinda. Its fun thats all you need to know. (9/10)
CONS
-The hardcore fans (like me) will appreciate the lengthy cutscenes and the unveiling of the Metal Gear saga and story...but for newcomers I suggest you play the previous MGS games because you WILL get confused. The cutscenes are great and exciting but sometimes I wish I was more involved.
- The game is 60% cutscenes and 40% percent gamplay, its not as bad as u would think but since this is the conclusion to possibly the greatest video game series of all time, you would expect this kind of thing. Its better than MGS2's lengthy cutscenes because those were boring as f***.
- The new weapons system is great and convinient but it makes the game a bit easy, but it is fun.
- THE TRULY SAD PART ABOUT THIS GAME IS THE FACT THAT THIS IS POSSIBLY THE LAST METAL GEAR GAME AND IT REALLY BRINGS A TEAR TO MY EYES.
There really is no bad part to this game, but for newcomers they might find some flaws that they won't fully understand. The game is truly a masterpiece and for hardcore fans this is just as good as sex, this game summarizes the whole Metal Gear series and concludes it. Almost every question that has been asked in the MGS series is resolved and answered and it truly does conclude the series in a satisfying way where everybody has there somewhat happy ending. To Solid Snake you deserve a good salute
FAREWELL SNAKE ITS BEEN FUN!!!!
 If you own a PS3 its worth buying June 14, 2008

For those of us who've been playing MGS4 its brings answers a lot of unanswered questions! now I'm just going to skip to the pros and cons.
Pros: Graphics Best I've seen on a console, Good controls, Great Story! Cut scenes as expected are in real time so if a PMC is hanging off the side of your truck they're hanging on the side of your truck during the cut scene making you more emerged with whats going on because it just feels real.
cons: Online account setup is really a pain and annoying, the cut scenes are far to often in this then they really should be how ever still worth buying!
other thoughts: while I didn't mind, others might get annoyed with the fact that it installs a few different times and not all at once but the install times aren't that bad. 8 mins for the first and 2-4 mins for each time after and its a while between each time (aka hours of game play before you'll see it again).
In the end if you own a PS3 its worth buying!
Greatest game of all time June 14, 2008

This is without a doubt the best game of all time. Everything is jaw dropping from the graphics to the gameplay to the emotion filled story.
