My adivice:

If you're a newcomer to MGS, I'd recoomend getting the Essentials Collection before. After that, you wouldn't be asking if you should buy MGS4 or not.

Yeah either game is fine, but I think you be less disapointed with MGS4.

I said "IF" as in "not sure that you've played them". See the IF there??

And R2 is good, yeah. In fact I played it more times than I played MGS4. MGS4 is good but it's waaaaaaaaaaaay too heavy on the story. It's easy to get bored with that cuz there are a lot of cutscenes and not all of them are really relevant/interesting to the story.

No, Wikipedia will be nowhere near good enough to gather the emotions and story. Wikipedia is good after you've played the game once, but never before. Either get the Essentials Collection off of Amazon (three great games and classics for only 29.99) or Youtube the story. You don't want to miss the full experience. There's no way to fully describe the Metal Gear Saga's greatness in terms of story. Resistance may have better durability, but MGS4 dominates the rest, to answer the TC's question.

I'd say to go with Resistance 2. I'm just not big on the MGS franchise.

A few months before MGS4 came out, I tried this. After days of trying to be stimulated into the story via reading, I just said "Screw this" and got all of the games... one of the best decisions of my life.

Now R2 is a great game, but MGS4 blows it away in just about every way. Super graphics, superior gameplay, superior story, superior soundtrack.

I doesn't matter whether you've played the previous MGS games, 4 is the greatest game this generation and a must have no matter what!

Depends how much time you got in your hands. MGS4 is definitely a no if you wish to be having fun within 5 minutes of turning on your PS3 and the online is completely random and quite difficult at first. R2 is much more straightforward.

R2 has MUCH better graphics. Have you seen the second level's alien ship infested sky in HD? Also MGS4's textures in the palace level where you meet up with your team are just awful! I thought it was a PS2 game, honestly!

If you're only concerned of how much play can you milk out of one game, I'd say go with Resistance 2. But really, if you get it over MGS 4 you'll be making a mistake.

Buy R2 and rent MGS4. Once you beat MGS4 chances are you are not going to play it again.

Yea obviously. But I just want to clear something out, I wouldn't have reached "The Illuminati" subject if it wasn't for Metal Gear and Kojima's introduction to the "New World Order" in the storyline that is "The Patriots". The chances of me searching for the term "New World Order" would have been so small and if it wasn't for Metal Gear and Kojima, "Illuminati" would have never crossed my mind. Thanks Mr.Kojima for waking me up. I owe you alot. Oh and by the way, this past week, I have been watching tons of videos about "them" on youtube and I'm currently watching "John Todd" speech who is a former Illuminist as I'm writing this post. Again, thanks Kojima.
