I played the original Metal Gear back in the day on NES and I feel like I have grown up with Solid Snake through out the years. This MGS is for the fans and for those whom never played one. With the vivid story that grasp you and a flashbacks to inform you this might be the very best video game story series ever made. The controls are different then the previous games but the learning curve is no more then a few minutes. The graphics are stunning and impressive, the best I have seen on any game.The sound effects and music really put you there and can have you feel the emotion. But I have a duty as a gamer to be very critical to say the game is very short, I have beaten this game in 15 hours on the first day. But as all MGS fans will say the game has a huge replay value with new gear, weapons, and modes you'll be playing for days. And the online feature makes this a game to keep. To rap it all up, this MGS4 is a game guaranteed to give you your moneys worth. Also to all, if you don't at least cry once while playing this game, then you know your not a MGS fan, cause I did...METAL GEAR!
