This has got to be one of the greatest games I have ever played. It had me hooked from the begining all the way to the very end. Everything about this game is amazing from the graphics and story all the way to the actual gameplay. Everthing that had been wrong with the old MGS games were completely fixed in this newest installment. The controls have been redone making everything a lot easier to do and allowing a lot more versatility in the actual gameplay. Allowing the player to do such things as playing dead or posing like a statue to blend in to the environment. The graphics have also been revamped making everything look amazing from the explosions on the battlefield to the boss battles with the BB unit. Sound is another thing that this game does amazingly. Right from the very begining of the game when Snake is in the middle east and as your moving around you hear the sounds of gunfire, explosions, and the screams of people near by making you feel like you are truly there and that whats happening around you is all real. Every aspect of this game great and yes there are cutscenes that can last up to 30 minutes or longer but every second of it is amazing and extremely cinamatic and at times it feels like you are watching one of the greatest movies ever made. One thing that has truly helped the game is the addition of the Drebin point system that lets you get weapons, ammo , and upgrades at anytime during the game nomatter where you are. You will always have the weapons you need to defeat any enemy or boss. This game truly is amazing from start to finish with surprises around every corner and will not once let you down.

"Metal Gear Solid 4 for game of the year."
