Can't wait to get my hands on the game, but wow, SW would actually be interesting if it was lower than expected. Remember, when MGS3 fell just a little short of AAA? I believe it was the internet version of LA riots.

More like a 10, it would create even more chaos and is less likely than both 8 or 9.5.

Yea, i'd like to see that too. It would be so funny.

BTW. The game is amazing. I dont see how it would not get AAA.

No. I sure don't want a 10. I wouldn't be able to stand anymore "over-rated" and/or "No game is perfect" threads...

No more 10's please...ever.

For real its like a game can't be over-rated, but still good. Too many threads like this "LOL GTA4 IS OVERRATED IT SUX"

and lemmings could then use the "well it took the ps3 X years to get an AAAE"

it would be the biggest turn around since "just wait"

True and that's chaos. Now add the new argument ''they are giving 10s to everything now'' to the mix.

I'm playing it right now and it's so unbelievably polished. This game is not possible on 360, it's just absolutely breathtaking. The physics, the depth, this is why you have a PS3.

If MGS4 gets anything below 9.5 here on gamespot, the entire forum will be one gigantic conspiracy theory. I hope for forum sanity sake, that it scores a 9 or so, just so everyone is happy, and no one will have owned anyone.

It'd be a megaton flop comparable to MP3 and Twilight Princess if MGS4 gets 8.5 here. Good times.

Why do I need to be subtle? This game is undescribable. Something about it just feels different, something that the 360 couldn't do for me.

I feel that way also. But I mostly want it because they gameplay looks so boring and the enviroments are just bland. The story is always good in MGS games but i also heard this one is the worst. I feel IGN didn't mention any of the issues either with the game but just graded it on its epicness. They didnt even mention the length of the cutscenes which is a turnoff to many like me.

Don't worry, two weeks from now everyone will be back here saying how over-rated MGS4 is. Name one AAA game this gen that has not been called over-rated.

I wouldn't be surprised if GS gives the game a 10, since there always the last ones to release a review, as if there seeing what everyone else is giving it and then giving it a certain score. *cough GTA4* none the less everyone has to remember its one person opinion on the game. The reviewer could be a hardcore MGS fan who would likely not bring up small problems. If it was me reviewing it, I would keep my standards high playing the game. That's just because I personally despise the MGS series. All that said, reviews should be taken lightly, 10 to me is basically just means it lives up to its hype perfectly, but doesn't mean it has to be good. And that's when personal preference kicks in.

lol it would be so funny if it got a 7.5. I kind of hope it does, there will be massive amounts of virtual suicide all over the place. I want to watch. I love the game A LOT though, just got done with a 5 hour playing-spree. I don't really care about reviews though.

I just finished the game. It would be a crime to give this game anything less than 9/10. This was the most amazing experience I've ever had in a game, movie or book.

I'm having a hard time putting my thoughts into words but... I honestly think this is the best game I've ever played. And I'm not still in the "i just got this game its so cool best game ever!!!" hype stage anymore. I truly, honestly think this is the best game ever. And I don't think that feeling is going to ware off on me like other games have, including GTA IV and SMG

I got it at the midnight release. Played it literally all night up until like... 9 or 10am. took a break (which included about a 3 hour nap), resumed play at around 9pm and finished at about 3:30am. At the end the game said my total playtime was about 18 hours.

I couldn't put down the controller. The game just really draws you in.

And Raiden... oh Raiden... He defiantly gives Snake a run for his money for the title of biggest badass in this game. Anyone who's got through Act 4 will tell you. It takes balls to do what he did in Act 4...

laughingman42

Yeah I remember hearing somewhere that it was a 30 hour game. Whoever said that must have been playing on either hard or extreme. I played on Naked Normal, which is like inbetween Easy and Medium.

I don't want to give a number saying how much of it was cutscenes, but I will that there is a lot. But every one of them is important and the production values behind them are outstanding.

I can't explain to you MGS4 with words. It's just something that you need to experience first hand to fully understand.
