Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

True classic and a fantastic action game

Pros Cons
Tight controls Poor storytelling
Amazing visuals
Loads of content
Intense action

What amazed me about MGS4 was how great it played as an action game. This venerable stealth series hits a new high with MGS4, and though the storyline can drag on at times, how many games care enough to give you so much content? A great game that really shows what the PS3 can do.

Oh this is pretty cool being able to vote and comment on other users reviews (even though you're not a user). Nice touch. Though i would disagree with the poor storytelling i would say that some of the cutscenes can drag on for a touch too long. Also i was a little turned off by the direction to put action at the forefront of the game with stealth taking a backseat. But now that i'm on my 3rd playthrough i'm enjoying the action bits now that i got the bandana and stealth camo.

The Pro/Cons table adds a nice touch. I really need to finish this game up sometime.

Hah, yeah the Pros and Cons need a bit of work. I'd like to add another 5 or so to each so people can be a bit more precise with their selections. Instead of saying "poor storytelling," I'd like to choose "Long-winded cinemas." That'd be better and more accurate -- I'll check with the dev guys after launch about adding some more Pro and Con selections.

If anything a nice review is what you did, you layed a begining middle and an ending to top it off with a great game.
