An absolute masterpiece!
This game is recommended for new players and old veterans alike, as both will get to dive into one of the greatest if not the greatest game in the world to date.
Difficulties include those suited to newbies: Liquid Easy, which will definatley let them get used to the much expanded controls of MGS4.
Whereas for cocky players and veterans can start on the same and again get used to the controls there are two types of "Normal" mode. One which is watered down alittle for those straight from any other Metal Gears wanting to feel achieved, or even a higher level normal. Which will truly be a challenge for any new player.
Old players on the other hand will find this game equally enjoyable due to new commands and gadgets such as the octo-camo.
Although on a side note, people who loved to play with the revolver in MGS3 will be disapointed, and in its stead will be a "Race gun" Which looks like a handgun but fires (Very weak) ricochet bullets.
-Z out.
