A Perfect End
With such an intricate tie up of loose ends in MGS4 the bonds between the past metal gear solids are only strengthened, even deeper character development and almost a behind the scenes feel to the references to snake eater etc. MGS4's story line is extremely captivating for someone who's played the older MGS releases.
And for those that haven't there's a heavy presence of philosophy in the theme if this not so distant future warning us of the ways of capitalism and how it may end up.
Game play is brilliant, camera angles are well done, weapons galore, a lot of extra game play to do once clocking it eg. bandanna + stealth and some great new characters and back stories thrown into the mix.

A definite must.

The story keeps you coming back
Metal Gear Cutscene 4 is what I call this game to myself. I haven't finished this yet, but I have a feeling that when I do, I will have spent more time watching cutscenes than actually playing the game.

The gameplay itself is solid enough - sneak around and attempt to get to a goal without being spotted/killed. Controls are quite clunky and you'll find yourself frequently swearing at them. However no matter how annoyed you get during gameplay, the story will keep you keeping on. It's epic, with loads of twists and turns throughout that will keep you hooked, playing through your frustrations just to see what happens next.

Graphics, sound, and general presentation are the best I've seen/heard on a console game so far.

two thumbs way up!
what can you say that hasnt already been said 'bout mgs4? def a worthy game to be picked up. hands down one of the best looking games in graphics, story, game mechanics and etc, not just for the ps3 itself, but for this gen in general. to have a ps3 and not have mgs4 is a crime. go get it this instant!

DA BOMB!
Arguably the best MGS yet! The controls are much more complex, but not complicated. You get to control more of Snake than any time before. The best of all, you see characters that you have long forgotten since the days of original MGS on PSX.

Highly, highly recommended!
