Would you pass on a really hot super model if she offered herself to you?
This game has the power to blow anyone away. The opening is stunning as is every other scene and level of the game. The gameplay has changed a fair bit since now its third person, giving those of whom who have played Splinter Cell a very familiar feel. The sound effects are pretty good but the graphics are suberb, there are many moments in the game where you stop and just awed by the graphics of the gameplay and the Cutscenes. The story is fantastic as well as the multiplayer part of the game MGO.
A game being so good isnt without problems. But its different for MGS4 because the problems only come if your a n00b or if you dont like going into depth about characters, world and story. MGS4 has many cutscenes and usualy are pretty darn long, the upside to it is none of them bore you (unless you dont like what I've mentioned before). MGO is something that frustrated me at first due to the insanely hard nature of the combat, I play MGO a month later which made if hard for me because most people that play MGO at the time are pros and people who have played it since launch. But after a month I became a pro, and it is lots of stealth online multiplayer fun.
To all MGS fans this is the one too have. Its something us fans say about every game, but being the last adventure of Snake its a must have. The game will not disappoint you and it is definently worth spending the money to get a PS3 for if you havent got one already. And to anyone curious about character relationships, the world as for told by Hideo Kojima in the metal gear solid world, some the the things that are said, I reccommend download MGS4 Database after finishing MGS4 as this would unlock most or all MGS4 files in the database.
