Metal Gear Solid 4
Platform: Playstation 3
Developer: Konami
Approximate Completion Time: 22 hours
Completion Title: Eagle
Metal Gear!?
Somehow MGS4 manages to make sense of one of the most "wtf?" inducing storylines in gaming history. It also does so with unbelievable style and grace even for Hideo Kojima. My mouth was literally open the entire ending sequence which is a very long time. When it comes to cinematic action, MGS4 is easily on par with the best films of the genre such as The Matrix Trilogy. MGS4 is actually about 3/5 film and 2/5 game in my opinion, but it works.
The gameplay is solid and satisfying if a bit sparse. I played on Solid Normal difficulty which gave me little to no trouble. At some point I would like to attempt another playthrough on a harder difficulty and be more stealthy. Unlike the MGS games I have played previously you can actually run and gun your way through this one a lot more. The wide variety of weapons and available customizations is very awesome.
The amount of flashbacks and nostalgia from previous titles oozes from the very start and kicks major ass. There is so much fanservice in this iteration for fans of the series that it's almost over the top at times. Again however, it works.
I wouldn't know what else to say really other than play this game or you are crazy. Even if you have never touched Metal Gear Solid before in your life, this game is worth playing.
