"It is, without a doubt, one of the greatest games of all time"

"It sets new standards in graphics, sound, gameplay, and storytelling, and it may be years before it is equaled, let alone surpassed. You will not play a better game this year---maybe even this decade. If you own a PS3 buy this game the day it comes out. And if you don't own a PS3, well, you better start saving your nickels and dimes."

"In the end, everyone's a winner. The Playstation 3 finally gets it's "saviour", Kojima gets his masterpiece, and gamers get one of the best games of all time. And they all lived happily ever after."

"This is video game story telling at it's absolute best, and represents a new high watermark for the craft, easily surpassing the superb BioShock and the subversive Grand Theft Auto IV."

"But as impressive MGS4 is from a gameplay level, it's also quite amazing on a purely technical one as well. MGS4 is one of the most striking games ever released, and also the first game to show off the hidden power of the PS3. Technically speaking the game is a marvel of production. Artistically speaking it's a triumph."

"Next generation starts with MGS4!"

"This is a visually striking game, even if you're stuck with a standard-def TV. But if you have access to an HDTV, MGS4 will show you the bleeding edge of video game graphics."

"The graphics: You thought Gears of War looked amazing? Think again. Metal Gear Solid 4 will blow you away with its ultra-detailed characters and intricate environments, painting some of the most gorgeous graphics seen this side of Crysis. In motion, the graphics look so realistic that your eyes begin to register the visuals as a movie rather than a game. From what we saw, MGS4 puts its 50GB Blu-ray disc to outstanding use."

"The guns: The final game will feature over 70 weapons, from lethal assault rifles to silent tranquilizer guns, and you can outfit many of them with scopes, recoil grips, laser sights, flashlights, and more. Collecting enemy weapons will unlock new guns and "Drebin Points" for further customization. There are 70+ guns in all."

"The sound: MGS4 has some of the crispest, clearest sound effects we've ever heard -- the booming gunshots will make your hair stand on end! The Hollywood-****soundtrack is also predictably fantastic, and Snake's raspy voice sounds more desiccated than ever. GamePro editor Sid Shuman went so far as to say that MGS4 has "the best sound I've ever heard in a game."

"The story: MGS4 is the darkest Metal Gear game by far: Snake is in terrible physical shape, and the world seems to rest on the brink of self-inflicted annihilation. Though the mood is dark, it's not depressing: you'll find plenty of characters to care about in this war-torn world."

"As I said earlier, there's only so much I can go into right now, but this is the system seller that we've all known Metal Gear Solid 4 was going to be. This preview has only scratched the surface; we haven't even described some of the bosses, radical and innovative game mechanics, or other features that make this title a fitting conclusion to one of the best franchises in gaming."

"I can guarantee that Metal Gear Solid 4 will retain a spot in my top 10, no matter which way the wind is blowing. And I'm willing to guarantee that it'll be similarly reserved by PS3 gamers the world over. Yes, it's that special."

"MGS4 is special in so many ways that I suspect it will reside among the videogame industry's greatest achievements long after we're dust"

"A lot of fantastic games have come out in the past years, but none that has seriously given me that feeling that I've discovered something completely new, the way Metal Gear Solid, Half-Life or Zelda: OoT did when I played them for the first time."

"But Metal Gear Solid 4 takes me back to that stage where everything feels new. Hideo Kojima not only surpasses the ten-year old predecessor – he once again manages to conjure up emotional storms within me that I actually didn't know existed."

"Maybe I'll create a better view of this when I say that after 3 days of playing I looked behind and I saw grown-up men really crying during the credits. Normally I would call them crazy, but this time I respected it, cause even this machoman was sad after finishing the storyline that had me in it's power for so long."

"It's not about one single revolutionary aspect. It's about that MGS4 is so beautiful, so perfect and that it dares to get so close. When the credits roll, it feels like it's just now that I've understood what games are all about."

I can't seriously choose one. But I have to go with this:

"It sets new standards in graphics, sound, gameplay, and storytelling, and it may be years before it is equaled, let alone surpassed. You will not play a better game this year---maybe even this decade. If you own a PS3 buy this game the day it comes out. And if you don't own a PS3, well, you better start saving your nickels and dimes."

OMG... that line right there should tell you this review is garbage. Emotional storms? Are you kidding me? What a tool.

Well, considering I have a PS3 and have MGS4 pre-ordered, I guess I really can't be jealous, can I?

None of them were good quotes! Are you kidding me? That had to be the worst review I have ever read in my life...

Is this not a good thing? How is praising the game a bad thing. I don't get it.

Again, see my original reply. Any reviewer who says a game tapped some "emotional storms" that he/she didn't know that he/she had, is a complete tool. That line, in and of itself, makes the whole review 100% trash.

Come on, now... emotional storms?

I cried when I first watched the ending to MGS1... and I also cried when I first watched the ending to MGS3. No other games have even come close to doing that, not even Ico or SotC.

"A lot of fantastic games have come out in the past years, but none that has seriously given me that feeling that I've discovered something completely new, the way Metal Gear Solid, Half-Life or Zelda: OoT did when I played them for the first time."

This is my favourite quote. Comparing a game to the likes of all-time classics like those listed above has me even more hyped for the game. Metal Gear is my favourite game series of all time, and its story looks set to go out with a bang. Just 2 weeks left... I can barely wait... :D

Maybe because it's truely going to be the first game this generatioin to really deliver in all of its aspects? Maybe because it's been in development for 4 years now and it's created by Hideo Kojima who is known to be a genious! If it was coming from one review I'd understand your point but several different reviewers. Now come on.

Cool Thread TC althrough you missed my favorite quote so far-

"To play the core of the game you only need to use four main buttons: aim, shoot, crawl, and use. That the game squeezes so much functionality out of such a simple interface is one of it's crowning achievements."
