Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (Playstation 3)

I have been a fan of Metal Gear ever since i bought MGS2 last summer to see what was so great about it,and boy I loved it,I managed to complete it 100%,which means i complted the game on every difficulty(starting with Medium),i discovered every secret and easter eggs and overall finished the game 22 times.I bought MGS3:Snake Eater with some of my birthday money in November 2005 and i loved that game even more,so to complete my understanding of the story i bought The Twin Snakes for my GameCube,finshed that although it dissapointed me a little as teh cutscenes was overdone and the game was so short,but i manged to complete it 100% like the otehr two games.The conclusion was that MGS3 was teh best in the series yet,for me.

Now roll on Metal Gear Solid 4:Guns Of The Patriots(MGS4:GOTP) a PS3 game which is going to be the conclusion of teh series(or so they say).It is said that its release date is 7/7/07 seeing as thats Metal Gear`s 20th Annerversery.

MGS4 will be set 6 years after the events of MGS2 and Solid Snake is yet again finding himself in combat against terrorist teams and METAL GEAR robots or more primarily the Patriots have set up a plan.

Solid Snake will be old in this game,but the game only takes place 6 years after MGS2,it is because Snake is a clone made out of 1970`s technology and is also infected with the FOXDIE virus which will give him pains and increased fear rate.He only has 6 months to live as told by Naomi Hunter.

I am not buying a PS3 just for this game,i want plenty of others-But when i do get my PS3 this will be a game i will definately get.

I have seen all MGS4 screenshots,seen all trailers and teasers and also have seen the Famitsu poster which features Snake,big Boss,Meryl,Vamp and Naomi Hunter,not to mention have read all teh info about it off interviews and Kojima`s Blogs.So i`ll keep up to date about the game.

So anyone who is buying a PS3 and likes stealth combat,all i can say is buy MGS4 when it comes out! Surely it will get good reviews such as 8`s and 9`s seeing as the rest of the series did.

Not to mention MGS4 is one of PS3`s highly anticipated games,you can`t go wrong with a successful series unless you are not a fan of the genre.

MGS4 WILL ROCK!

There are many glowing reviews on here and I don't want to waste my time saying what other already have. I just wanted to add that I had never before played a Metal Gear game except the original for the NES in 87' when I was 4. If you own a PS3 or are planning on getting one, you owe it to yourself to play this masterpiece. You can do some background reading on Wikipedia to prepare you for the gripping story, though many things are explained in the Hollywood movie quality cut scenes, and the controls are easy to pick up on (especially with a virtual training ground to test your weapons and close quarter combat). This is easily one of the 5 best games I have ever played.

Absolutely fantastic blend of gameplay, cinema, storytelling, and Hideo Kojima's weirdness. This is the perfect entrance for the series into the new console generation pushing all aspects of the hardware not limited to the areas of graphics, sound design, and animation. This game also has a fantastic cast of voice actors, some of whom established their breakthrough performance such as Khary Payton (Drebin). The controls and mechanics are fully evolved as you might expect such as a new take on Metal Gear Solid 3's camouflage system which has evolved into Octocamo. Mimicking an octopus, anything Snake presses up against his suit will acquire that texture eliminating the cumbersome menu switching present in Snake Eater. Tons of replay value and extras are also included, most notably the online mode Metal Gear Online which incorporates all your skills from the main game into online multiplayer. For Metal Gear enthusiasts this is a more than satisfying conclusion the the narrative. For casual Metal Gear fans this is a must play. For anyone who has never played the series this is the way to get into it. If you have never played the games, download the Metal Gear Solid 4 Database from Playstation Network to get to know the characters and their relationships so you can fully enjoy everything that is being shown to you.
