A return to the classic. Exactly what I was after, a great end to the series.

I set out to play Metal Gear 4 scared. I am very happy to say that all of my fears were unwarranted and this is the game that 3 should have been. It is great to go back to basics, and play a true sequel to the original.

The graphics are amazing, the realism of the world is fantastic, something as subtle as bumping a discarded Soda can feels realistic and subtle, you have to really watch the world more so than in any previous game. The annoying MGS3 content has been removed, no more eating snakes (WTF right?) and no more collecting Camo, the system does all that for you and lets you focus on enjoying sneaking around.

I don't want to give away the story... but... WOW. Everyone I wanted to see makes a visit and you really get a sense of closure. Given how many other series' have disappointed long standing fans, I was very pleased that this wasn't just another MGS3 and that we were given the game we had been asking for. I look forward to the next installment in this franchise, Snake or no Snake.

Very very satisfied.
