My impressions of MGS4.
First off let's talk about the graphics. Arguably the best graphics on any console game to date. This game is just beautiful. It's not as big of a shock as some of the earlier HD titles like Gears of War, but this is better looking.
Game play...if you've ever played a MGS game you know what you're in for, but you know not know just how long you're in it for. Fans of the series know that MGS has long cut-scenes, but this is pretty crazy here. It's my only negative about the game...sometimes the cutscenes just seem to drag and it leaves you wanting to just get to the game, but the story is so awesome that you have to sit through it. Some of the earlier scenes are the ones that dragged and then they started to pick up and I didn't really mind them too much. My first go through clocked in a little under 20 hours and I think the game may be finished under 6...I'm checking that out now.
This is a must have for fans of the series and even for fans of the stealth genre. It may not be everyone's type of game, but it is epic and worth checking out just to see if it might be yours.
