I never once said to myself or anyone that I loved a game. I always said "I really really like this game" or "I really enjoyed this game", but never loved. Until I played this game. I love MGS4. Everything in the game is amazing. The graphics are super incredible, and also the sound is amazing. I played this game on my stereo speakers and it was soooooooo awesome. Best sound in game ever. I love how they put every wrinkle into Old Snake, every detail about every character is unique and very realistic. Now lets talk about the game modes in MGS4. There's a Single Player, an Online Multiplayer, a Virtual Range, Extras, and a Mission Briefing. Lets talk about the Single Player first. When I played the Single Player I never wanted to put down my controller ever. When Single Player just started I was drawn in instantly. It starts off with Old Snake in the Mid-East. With the main plot of finding and killing Liquid Ocelot. So if you haven't played the game yet your probably thinking to yourselves "How do go around undetected with war going on in the Middle-East?", well to answer that, Old Snake wears a suit called the Octo-Camo, which allows Old Snake to bled in to whatever he is basically touching. For example, if I were to lye on the ground the suit would turn into the color of the ground, if the ground was brownish the suit would turn brown and etc. I think thats one of the super cool things in the game is the suit. One of my personal favorites to do with the suit is to fake dead and trick your enemies and then turn around and then shoot. The AI in the game is really smart. They use basically all the senses to find you. They can smell , touch, and see where you are. So you gotta be careful. Another cool thing about the Single Player is the environment. Everything looks so realistically cool and sometimes there's destructible environments. One other thing about the Single Player is the improved combat and shooting. I thought they stepped it up and its a lot smoother. A thing about the Single Player is I think it's a lot more fun if you treat it as a stealth more than running through and blasted and getting a lot of alerts. Another cool thing added is the item you can obtain is an Ipod. Yes the apple Ipod, and it does what an Ipod does. You can listen to old MGS tracks from old games or listen to a cool podcast they have. They are also spoused to add in an commentary, so while your playing you can get some tips on how to beat some bosses, I think thats one of the coolest idea's and I can't wait for it. So all and all the Single Player is AMAZING, not to say that the story is awesome, a bit confusing and the cut scenes are really long, most of them that is but I really don't mind watching them because the story is great and I'm just really drawn into it but in all amazingly great. Now let's talk about the Online Multiplayer. This is new for the MGS series is the Multiplayer. I think they added this so people would keep playing the game because if you don't know by now is this is the last MGS game. But anyways, the Online Multiplayer is great. It's loads of fun. You make your own character and battle other people in various game modes. There's Deathmatch (free for all), Team Deathmatch, Rescue Mission (recapture the GA-KO or defend it), Capture Mission (similar to king of the hill, just trying to capture one point for a set period of time), Sneaking Mission (One person gets to play as Snake), and Base Mission (Teams compete to see who can conquer the most bases scattered throughout the stage). Every mode is just so fun. The maps are also cool and very fun. Now lets talk about the Virtual Range. The Virtual Range is a mode where your just in a Virtual room with Virtual Dummies who just walk around and do nothing, while you get to go around and test out some guns and get a feel for them. This makes way for good shooting practice. Now lets talk about the Mission Briefing. This mode allows you to go back and watch some of the cut scenes before you go on to your mission to review on what happen or to get a better understanding the second time around or if you just missed something the first time. Now the finale thing is the Extras. Here you can download extra content like downloading new skins for the Octo-Camo or downloading new music to your ipod. All in all MGS4 is one of the best games I have ever played. MGS4 is definitely on my top 3 three games I have ever played. I can truly say that I love this game. I love MGS4.
