The game is awesome, the the graphics are incredible, the action is superb, the improved controls are great and the story is exciting... there is no doubt that is one of the best games i've ever played! The reason i put 4 stars and not 5 is because of the cinematics: most of them are very long and sometimes very booring too. But that doesn't keep the game to be very enterteining.

SPOILER!!!: Going back to Shadow Moses Island with all this new graphics is something that i will never forget!

The best PS3 can offer thus far.

Let me start by saying this game has a mature rating and is not intended for gamers under seventeen. With that said let us begin, shall we? Six years ago there was an incident called "Big Shell" and since then the world has become dependant on war. Enter solid Snake, an aging special agent with clone body thrown into the fire for one last hoorah. His mission: to terminate his twin brother, Liquid Ocelot. But wait...didn't his brother die in part one? Yes! His spirit, will, and drive have been infused with another named, Revolver Ocelot. If Solid Snake fails at his mission, the armies of the PCM will seize control of the free world. Aided by his good friend, Dr. Hal "Otacon" Emmerich, Solid Snake accepts his mission and goes of to save the world. Should I continue with the story or move to the gameplay? I'll move to the gameplay.

The controls for MGS$ are some of the smoothest around. The story is a free reign game, which means you have complete control of how you wish to proceed. This is a feature, I for one, love...as I often find myself delving off track. The style of gameplay is also left up to the gamer. You can go John Wayne style with your guns blazing....or, you can go James Bond style and slip past your enemies. Regardless of which style you choose to incorporate, the game will adjust to you. This is by far the best game thus released for the PS3 and if I had just one knock against it, it would be that it's a tad short. Other than that, this is the game that will keep you busy for one hundred plus hours.

You Better Buy It If You Own a PS3

People hate it because of the movie like length but that's what helps end the Metal Gear Saga. It's like an epic adventure and the length is definitely needed. I have been lucky enough to be at the end of movie scenes when I needed to leave or quit playing but who knows. I am going to play through a couple more times after I beat it(I'm on Act 4).

Perfection

I really don't like calling Metal Gear 4 a game,but more like a fine piece of art.Without giving the story away for those who haven't played this,all I can say is it blew my mind.At times it was almost overwhelming to see so many familiar faces returning,but it was a brilliant way to close out Snake's final mission.

When it comes to story,the gameplay,the sound,you name it,I have no complaints whatsoever.Having grown up with the Metal Gear series,and anticipating this final installment for years I can now rest easy and call it perfection.

If you haven't played any of the previous MG games,it would probably be a good idea to at least play the first three Solid games before this one.Things could get very confusing if you are not familiar with this story.

Thank you Hideo for all the great memories :)

A Review From Somone Who Has Never Played Previous MGS Games

I didn't play Metal Gear Solid 1, 2, or 3. I just bought a PS3 and heard this game was amazing, so i took a chance and bought it. For the first 5 hours, this game is difficult to understand, and to be honest, not a lot of fun. But once you get the hang of the controls, and the weapon customization and item usage, it becomes a breeze. The plot line is fairly easy to follow, as the games developers explain everything to you as you go along. Therefor people that don't know any of the story lines have a pretty good idea of what's going on in this game. The second i finished this game, i immediately started it up again on a higher difficulty level. its' that good. you'll want to play it over and over. a must buy.

Must have for PS3

MGS4 is, by itself, reason enough to get a PS3. The game is truly amazing. The whole game itself is 1080p, not just a few scenes like some other games that claim to be 1080p, so it looks incredible on an HDTV. I don't have an XBOX so I can't say if any of the platform exclusive titles are as good or not, but it would have to be one heck of a game to beat MGS4. I've played all the other games in the series and I've read the reviewers fussing about the long cut scenes and some of them are very long (I think it was between acts 2 and 3, counting the ending of one part and the mission briefing of the next part, the cut scene was nearly 50 minutes long). You can skip them, but you miss out on a big part of the story and the story is the main reason for playing MGS4. MGS has never been a run-and-gun type game. It actually requires you to have patience, refrain from shooting any thing that moves, be stealthy and quiet, so it doesn't appeal to a lot of gamers, but if you liked the other games in the series, you will absolutely love this one. This is the best game I've played on the PS3 so far.

A Masterpiece!!

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is a marvelous blend of video game and cinematic experience!! I have only played Sons of Liberty before and found it somewhat incomplete and limited in detail. But this game has combined cutting edge graphics, wonderful gameplay, endless weaponry options and a mesmorizing storyline beautifully complimented by one of the most moving and powerful musical scores ever in a videogame bar none!! This game not only captures the imagination but the flawless storyline and ending lift the human spirit through the rollercoaster of tragedy and triumph.

I purchased the 80GB Playstation 3 Metal Gear Solid Package over the Motorstorm package and I have been absolutely blown away!! Marvelous Game!! Well Done!!

First Person Shooter junkie

Before anything I shall state I'm a hardcore fps gamer. So as you might expect I'm into fast paced games like COD4, RFoM, and Gears of War (yes, I know that is a 360 game and not quite FPS but you get the idea). Therefore, I had my doubts with respect to this game as it is stated as a tactical spy game. As a matter of fact the only reason I got it was because it was a gift LOL. Couldn't be more wrong, the game is absolute gold. And the long cutscenes a lot of people complain about are actually very welcomed by me. They give me plenty of time to rest from the constant stress that causes me to try to sneak out behind enemies. An additional advantage of the long cutscenes is that for a first-timer in the Metal Gear series, this game explains everything so I actually feel lost regardless of its "complex" story. Moreover, the game allows you to play however you like, you might as well blast thru it and kill everything in sight or sneak out and avoid detection at all costs.

Must have PS3 title!!!

I loved this game all the way to the very end! The cinematics were mind blowing, the gameplay was exciting, and the story was a great. Plus, the multiplayer will have you on your couch for weeks, avoiding phone calls, and skipping meals! If you have a PS3 you need this game.
