Summary
Game Description
In the latest version of this action-stealth series, Snake returns for what is said to be his final adventure. Many years in the future Snake is tired and aged, yet he is the world's last defense against a perpetual war fueled by the military industrial complex. He must assassinate Liquid Ocelot with the help of his OctoCamo -- a high-tech suit that changes color to match Snake's surroundings -- and his familiar cast of allies. MGS4 makes use of the PS3's Blu-ray capabilities, cramming 50GB onto one Blu-ray disc, and will include a starter version of Metal Gear Online, an online team shooter.

One can complain: one can say the cut-scenes are long, online is terrible -- actually now that I recall I wasn't absorbed until halfway but playing it a second time I'm hooked, so if you accept what the game is and can live with the idea that the cut-scenes are as important as the gameplay you will be in heaven (as you can guess it's a love and hate even when you love it).
One of the Best!

This is one of the best games i have played. Not only is it possible to play through the whole game without firing a shot, you can also unlock many awesome things. I have played through the series and this had to be my favorite!
I would not only recommend this to any PS3 owner, but any true gamer!
5 STARS!

Now, before I go into detail about how awesome this game is, let me just say how awesome this game is. This game is AWESOME!Now, to elaborate, the Metal Gear series has always prioritized its amazing storyline, quirky, unique, and great characters, intense boss and stealth action and cut scenes. Now when you have a series that has greatness going for it, it's kinda hard to surpass that will the next installment. Heck it's even difficult to create a sequel that lives up to its brethren. However, Hideo Kojima has managed to do just that. Metal Gear Solid 4 is a pure example of greatness. The story? As great as ever. The graphics? Some of the best ever produced on any game console. The characters are weird, cool, lovable, and ambiguous. The game has an insurmountable quantity of polish and design, and it becomes very evident that this game is one that had A LOT of tender love and care during production. I don't even think it's possible to describe how great this game is. It doesn't (in my eyes) have a single flaw. It is a love letter to fans, and a thrill ride to new comers, with its cinematic excellence, you'll be amazed at what you see. And frankly, if you have a PS3, but not this game.....I don't know what to tell you. BUY THIS GAME. You won't regret it.
