Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

Played and completed this game 3 times and will do so one or two more times before I give it a break for a while!

It's cut from the same cloth as all other metal gear solids' (cool bosses, good story, great graphics and subtle humour) but it makes a good change from sneaking about as you just go wild and carve everything up!

To summarise, it's similar, yet still massively different from other MGS' games. I highly recommend it and it's the first story mode I've played over and over straight after completing it since zelda.

I have to say I downloaded the demo played it once and turned it off unimpressed. I went into town one day to buy Crysis and they were sold out, so in my frustration I picked up this instead.

I put it on and again felt a bit frustrated, I was gettin beat up ALOT and didnt feel like I was playing with the finesse and skill that you see from the adverts. I was about to give up.

But i kept going. And after a bit I was rewarded.....it takes a wee while to get used to playing, I have it on the xbox and to parry attacks you have to push forward on the left stick and press X at the same time just as the enemy is about to strike you, and once you learn this the game opens up....after that I was beating people left right and center, and with such fun.

The boss battles are amazing and set pieces unreal !! I absolutely recommend it, and bare with it cause you get better and things become awesome.

I would have said 5 stars but Im only half way through and thought it would be daft to rate it 5 if im not finished.

brilliant game, as well as challenging, if you put it on normal that is! The gameplay and story line is enjoyable and easy to follow. only problem is the length of the campaign i cleared it in under 6 hours playing it on normal. I will highly recommend it, as i have loads of fun slicing the enemies to bits.
