Great game with only a few problems. Read my review and see if u agree
at this point, there will be many people who refuse 2 say that MGS4 is the best game 4 the PS3 out there, but im going 2 explain why MGS4 is still the best after 10 months later
let me start off with the game's PROBLEMS
one problem that many people complain about is the long cut scenes
BUT i would have 2 disagree with those people
MGS4 does have very long cutscenes, but what i believe is that some people overlook the fact that THERE IS A "SKIP SCENE" OPTION!
Hideo Kojima (metal gear solid creator) tried to tie up ALL loose ends in the MGS series
and he tried doing this thru cutscenes
another problem that people don't like is that the game has 2 install between acts
well i personally dont mind waiting 2 minutes 4 the game to install
but i actually dont have an explanation 4 y konami did this
but i guess they had 2 have a good reason
another problem that i find annoying is the color of the target in the middle of the screen (the target that is used 2 aim with)
depending where u point that thing, bcuz of its color, it might b hard 2 see
this generally is not that bad in single player mode, but in MGO there are a few maps that are nearly the same color as the aiming target
AND THE LAST PROBLEM to me is that the game felt a little short
sure the entire story was explained, but i believe more could have happened 2 old snake while he was in the middle east or in south america
there should have been more missions to do in the acts
OR maybe konami should have invented a way that allows the player 2 just roam around the areas of the game without affecting the story
NOW FOR THE GOOD THINGS ABOUT MGS4
OK, number one,............the fact that konami answered all questions about the metal gear solid series
number two,...........the graphics
before killzone 2 came out
i strongly believe that MGS4 was the best looking game around
and today is the second best
number three,.............THE SOUND DESIGN!
nowadays, people argue that Killzone 2 has better sound,
but just by the first scene in MGS4
it is possible 2 see that the sound is excellent
u can even pinpoint enemy locations just by hearing where enemy sound is coming from
which means your ears become just as important as your eyes
number four,.............the action or stealth option
never before has a game offered this many styles of fighting
they have an excellent stealth system AND the action is perfect as well
the enemy A.I. is very smart in MGS4 but i think killzone 2 might have a SLIGHTLY better A.I.
and if u prefer sneaking, factors like sound, visual contact, and even scent needs 2 be carefully monitored as these might ensure your hidden statis
number five,...............THE AIMING
to aim in this game is as easy as breathing
the aiming is very fluid and easy 2 control
and bcuz the aiming is so good, u can score headshots from a huge distance bcuz the nice aiming helps u make tiny adjustments 2 hit targets from a distance
number six,..............MGS4 is one of the handfull of games that gamespot gave a perfect 10
number seven,.............THE ONLINE MULTIPLAYER!
this game has a handfull of amazing features
and only a few problems
BUT ill review MGO seperately since people consider MGS4 and MGO 2 b different games
WELL thats all that i have 2 say about MGS4
dont 4get 2 check MGO reviews too
and look 4 me
