Am considering buying this game soon- but have heard a lot of negativity about the pacing... how would you rate it?

That's a freaking amazing from me :)

Honestly, I loved the game and it was my personal GOTY for 2008. Buy it, hate it, love it, I think it is something that should be experienced by all gamers. Although, if you aren't too familiar with the story, good luck trying to understand what is going on :P

Amazing and one of the best games this gen. Be prepared to watch a lot of cutscenes though. It's a wonderful cinematic game and definitely worth the money you're paying for it. Don't hesitate.

it wasn't the strongest in the series, but it was still great fun. 9.2/10 for sure.

About a 9.0 it's a good game but not the strongest in the series though.

Very good game. Cutscenes were alittle too lengthy, but overall I greatly enjoyed it.

It was good IMHO, but WAY too over rated as the game goes overall. I got the game used for $15 and it still wasn't worth it to me. One of the most boring gaming experiences I've had since the NES.

As I stare at my (rather small) collection of PS3 games, it's my favorite so far. And that's saying a whole lot, because I'm really in love with Uncharted as well.

I prefer your rating system more than Gamespots. The game has its REALLY big highs, and some fairly low points, and then some points that are just tedious. Over all its a great package, Metal Gear Online is fun but definately not up there with COD or Gears online. The game is about 12 hours gameplay 8 hours cinematics, or i could just be getting the ratios backwards. This game is definitely in the top 5 for almost any category you put it in this gen, presentation, audio, cinematics, graphics, gameplay, game design,etc. As an MGS fan this was my least favourite, and i really think it only deserved a 9 here.

If you're a fan of the MGS series it's an 11/10... otherwise, I'd rate it a solid 10/10...

i give it "Freakin' amazing"

i never give a game a perfect 10. but i will be happy to give outstanding games a 9.5.

Can't wait/ would love for there to be a trophy patch. I remember Konami saying that they heard the fans and were looking into it.

Amazing. Let's put it this way: Last may I got back from Europe and bought a PS3. I bought GTA4 to go with it. GTA4 was pretty good and I had fun but I was somewhat regretting my purchase of a 400$ machine. So June rolls around and I buy MGS4 (the real reason I bought a PS3) and BAM no more regrets. Game is pure win in my opinion. One thing to note though is that some scenes are either love it or hate it.

Somewhere between Good! and FREAKING AMAZING on your scale. I would say a 9.5, a very good game, best PS3 game IMO. Best game this gen though? No, Best MGS game? Nope.

It was good but the story and ending was disappointing. I prefer MGS3 over it.

Negativity of the pricing? Idk where you live but I can buy it new for $30. Not bad at all for one of the greatest games ever made

I think I gave it a 9.5 a few days after release and after beating it mostly due to hype. In reality I think it is a 9.0 because it really has no replay value for me with the huge cut scenes and not much game play.

I really enjoyed it. I thought the pacing was pretty good and the set pieces were fantastic. I have completed it 3 times and love it to bits.

I loved Metal Gear Solid 4. The controls were what I think should be the standard for all third-person action, stealth, or shooters. They really served seamless transitions into stealth and action. The plot was really the culmination of the entire series, and the boss battles were memorable. The final boss battle was just the perfect realization of every game in the "Solid" series. That said, holy ****ing crap, the game did have a tendency to be long winded and insanely melodramatic at times. But in the view of someone who has retroactively gone back and played every game in the series from Metal Gear 1 on the MSX to MGS: Portable Ops, I think this stands out as by far the most playable and entertaining game in the series. As far as being a cinematic and gaming experience, it is perfect. The plot did the rest of the series justice but was not exemplary compared to other games in the series. I'd put it above MGS1 and Portable Ops but beneath MGS3 and MGS2. Metal Gear 1 and 2 didn't really have much in the way of a tangible story, so they fail in comparison.

It's a masterpiece on the first playthrough, but after the second or third playthrough, you'll be suprised how much of gameplay the cuscenes eat up. Don't get me wrong, the cutscenes are well done and brilliant, but when you just want to play the game and skip the movies, it does get a little disapointing on how little action the whole game has ;).

8.5/10. Better than MGS2, worse than MGS3. (In pacing, characters, boss fights, etc, etc). Controls were better in 4 though.

Good. I'd give it an 8.5, perhaps a 9 if I am feeling generous. It is very... very inconsistent in its design, has some horrible flaws (ahem the new emphasis on combat anyone), downright bad narrative pacing at times, and a distinct lack of evolution in the design formula since MGS3/S. But, its still a very good, if not great game, and a nice finale to the Metal Gear saga. I think its far from the praise that it gets though, too flawed at its core to be any better, which is a pity, as an MGS fan I was expecting something well, better and more intelligently designed / evolved.

I voted for Meh. It's one of the two games this gen that I started playing but didn't finish(the other is the Bourne Conspiracy). Too much interruptions by cutscenes anda vague incoherentstory(I knowfans willdisagree) make it a pretty average gamein my taste. The actual gameplay is good though.

The game is one master piece, brought Ps3 for it , is the single game i ever payed 70Euros for and DAMN if that was worthy

The nostlagia, the quality, the Epic boss fights, apart from lenghty cutscenes and a slowww paced 3 act (the stalking one) the game is beauty

The thing i like the most is that i can see that Kojima really tried to make the game the best possible.
