5 There's no need for a witty tagline on this oneJamesH666 | 13/08/2008 | See all JamesH666's reviews (9)Metal Gear Solid 4 has done the impossible: Created perfection. Technical flaws are insanely hard to find, it is incredibly polished, and the gameplay surprises are unforeseen and immersive. You owe it to yourself to buy this game. The amount of hard work spent. The blood, sweat, and tears, is entirely evident with the breathtaking quality in this game. Get your hands on it whenever you see it, and when you play it, never let the precious moment pass you by. A truly unforgettable and unrivalled experience: Hideo Kojima, I give my salute to you as the creator of one of the greatest games ever made. With this - Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots will last in our memories forever.Congratulations, you deserve every single increment of that 10/10.
5 Behold .... The Guns of the Patriotsmarkmv12 | 30/01/2009 | See all markmv12's reviews (2)So you own a next generation console, well its time to play - in my opinion - the first truely next generation game!Hideo Kojima has always been pushing the bundaries not only in gaming, but also in storytelling and this is absolutely no exception. Anyone who has played MGS 1 -3 will know that as well as an incredibly detailed gameplay experience each game has be accompanied by a very gripping and compelling storyline, that challenges topics of modern debate from genetic experimentation to conspiracies that control our governments and economy.Not only is it business as usual in this the 4th installment, Kojima also has the monumental task of tying in all of the previous games' stories. And without giving anything away all I can say is he does this beautifully, with enough plot twists to put even the makes of Lost to shame!Anyone new to the series will find the story to be almost endless, I actually look at this as a "cinematic game", basically your playing a bit of a movie. it might be worth your time playing a bit of the old ones, trust me it'll make this game much more enjoyable. It managed to take me back to the days of playing my Playstation 10 years ago!However if you enjoy playing games that allow you to apply a whole host of different tactics that require some thought as well as a good - or in this case truely epic - storyline, then this is for you.As for the gameplay itself you will be blown away! Don't believe me read anyone of the other 400+ reviews for MGS4 on this site alone.Snake is back, in this the biggest game of the series and with a whole host of new and customizable weapons, familure faces and the odd location that you might just recognise.Be prepared to experience the new benchmark in gaming.

5 5 Stars and more...CalumCJL | 12/06/2008 | See all CalumCJL's reviews (2)If you didn't have a reason to buy a PS3 before.. now you have! Snakes final chapter in the Metal Gear series. With cinematic and dramatics to compete with top films, Metal Gear Solid 4, is surely the must have game of the year (If not for many years).A lot of new elements has been added, for example OctoCam, a new camouflage that will blend you instantly to any wall/floor surface. Also added, the rusty barrel, this is fun. Get in roll and knock down your enemies, don't roll to fast though as Snake will get out and throw up!Online is solid and addictive!Overall a must have for any Metal Gear Solid // Action games fan.
