I thought it was bloody great, RE4 is probably my favourite game of all time and this looks better in all areas. Bring it on.

Sources: Konami Asked 'Metal Gear Solid 4′ Reviewers Not To Mention Cut Scene Length And Installation Time

While reporting MTV Multiplayer's week-long series about game reviews I've heard from members of the gaming press about restrictions publishers place on game reviews. I'm familiar with some of these. It's common for a publisher to specify plot details that they don't want revealed in reviews.

What I heard about print reviews for "Metal Gear Solid 4" was different.

I've been told by two gaming media sources who asked to remain anonymous that Konami representatives had been asking print reviewers to keep some technical details out of their reviews, namely the length of the game's cut-scenes and the size of the game's installation on the PlayStation 3.

Such details wouldn't have been plot spoilers, but perhaps the publisher was concerned that they would be viewed as negatives?

Konami representatives declined to comment to me about any of this, as did editors of a few major video game magazines.

A couple of weeks ago, gaming blog Kotaku posted back-to-back links about the two supposedly off-limits topics. The size of the game's installation was spotted on the "MGS4″ box. The other was a disputed report about the length of the cut-scenes.

So that technical information - accurate or not, I don't know - is getting out there. And that information about the game has been acknowledged by Eurogamer, which ran an "MGS4″ review that mentions both things.

Whether Konami really has put these limits on reviewers and if such limits are tolerable to game reviewers is something I can't answer. It's something worth keeping an eye on as print reviews of "MGS4″ start trickling out.

Wow PS3 owners are doing a lot of

in this thread, game got a 8/10, it's good but not great, deal with it. It's not the saviour of the PS3, it's not GOTY, it's just a game. A average one that was way over hyped.

MGS4 is the flop of th forever

You're sorry to see Snake go. But should you be? Guns of the Patriots is a frustrating, fractured game that turns Metal Gear Solid's world upside down several times over, but never changes it. It just burrows deeper into what fans love and detractors hate than ever before, and it will make few converts. It's a crying shame, given how many genuinely classic gaming moments there are here, given the countless exquisite creative touches, but Metal Gear Solid 4 is its own worst enemy. You could not ask for a funnier, cleverer, more ambitious or inspired or over-the-top conclusion to the Metal Gear Solid series, but it's definitely time to move on.

We love you, Snake. Don't come back.

8/10

Mega lulz, 300 quid saved on a PS3, thank you Eurogamer.

MGS4 is the biggest flop of any generation ever

EPIC FLOP

I read the review, its trash. How someone can praise a game so much, then bash it is beyond me.

anway, IGN, a respected reviewer game the game a 9.9. graphics a 10/10

this game will be awsome!!!

Game is a massive flop, 8/10 is right. I don't trust IGN after they said GTA4 was Oscar worthy.

Enjoy cows, I'm done with it. Word of warning, it has 0 replay value so you may want to rent it.

After IGN calling GTA4 story "oscar worthy" I will never take another review seriously again. So they can say what they want about MGS4, I know it will turn out to be a pretty good game, just like the others. Same as GTA4, nothing ground breaking, just horribly over rated.

It feels like I'm stuck in a room and I have watch my family get brutally murdered again and again, yet I can't do anything but watch. That is how painful this is.smokeydabear076
