 - didn't care for mgs4I got it to play a video game not watch a crappy movie. I want to play a game not watch hours of stories. The bad thing is to skip the stories you have to press start 4-5 times in a row.I guess if your life is not complete without the metal gear series you will like it. The graphics are great. It seemed easier than other metalgears.If you are in your 30's living in mom's basement with nothing better to do then you will love it. Rating:  - Best game for the PS3 consoleI've been waiting so long for this game...and it didn't disappoint me at all. I can assure you all that you won't find a game with all the graphics, sound, gameplay and the story for it is awesome....10/10!!! Rating: - Made me go replay the seriesMGS4 is simply what fans of the series have been waiting for. Hours and hours of gameplay, an unlimited amount of cool stuff to find out about, and there are SO many ways to play the game. If you are a fan of the Metal Gear series, you're gonna love 4, and if you're new to the series, its super easy to get started with. I had played the original Metal Gear Solid about 6 or 7 years ago and it was amazing for its time. I had dabbled with Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 but never really was able to get into them. When I saw the ad for 4, I knew I had to have it. After playing it, I went to Wal-Mart, bought a PS2 (since my PS3 is a 40GB) and the Metal Gear Trilogy pack. I have a whole new appreciation for these games after playing 4. If you have a PS3, it would be a SIN not to own this game! Simply perfect. Rating: - Great game, IF you love the seriesThis is, so far, one of the best ps3 titles available (circa July 2008). It has "all things fans love and detractors hate". What do I mean? A lot of people complain about the overtly cinematic nature of the game. Yes, like all other Metal Gear Solid Games (except for Portable Ops for PSP, mainly because of the PSP's technical limitations), this is 30-40% gameplay and the rest is made from a whole bunch of dialogue and cutscenes. But Metal Gear Solid has always been that way; "and the kids just love it!" (sorry for the KMFDM pun). It sure has an overtly complicated and sometimes absurd storyline (like all oher MGS games, so this isn't really a drawback at this point). After a whole bunch of MGS titles being written, produced and directed by Hideo Kojima one can easily know what to expect (and what not) from a new chapter in the series. If you loved all the other mgs titles, you'll feel right at home with this one (even with the stealth-in-the-battlefield tweaks, over the shoulder camera, and all that stuff they put in to appeal other gamers). If you hated all other chapters of Snake and Big Boss's history, you'll hate this one, too. It's just that simple. Of course, if you don't know a speck about the other MGS games, you should give them a try, in the order they were released. Konami has released a nifty trilogy pack; or you can just rent the first one; if you like it, go on with the others. If not, STOP RIGHT THERE; you saw it, you disliked it, and the others are more or less the same in terms of structure and gameplay, with some minor tweaks here and there for each game (but if you hated the first one, what's the point in playing the others? Metal Gear is something you must enjoy to get the most of it). Long-long cutscenes and radio/codec sequences, absurd and needlessly complicated stories (each one with its share of plot holes, we must admit), stealth-focused gameplay, Japanese references all over the place, blah blah blah, is what Metal Gear Solid has been all about since the very beginning (since 1998 at least, the old-school Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 games are a slightly different story). And all that stuff is here, in MGS4. So, if you are buying it, you should know what you're paying for. Nothing more, nothing less. Rating: - Great game.This game is amazing and well balanced, if you're on the fence or skipping this one it's your loss.
