"Is it possible to give a game an 11? If so, this would be the game that would merit that score. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is a title that exceeds all of the hype that was attached to the title. Regardless of whether you've seen every trailer and screenshot, read every preview and heard every interview, you won't get a full sense of how phenomenal this title is unless you sit down and experience it for yourself.
Legends die hard and deserve a heroic story that lives on when they are gone. Metal Gear Solid 4 is such an ending for the legendary warrior Solid Snake. Not only does it sum up the full franchise of Metal Gear, its depth and its complexity, coupled with its technical prowess, make it one of the best games of the year and, indeed, one of the best games ever made. Get some well earned rest, Snake. You've earned it. We salute you."

"Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is the most technically stunning video game ever made. It's also a fine example of storytelling prowess within its medium, combining gameplay and narrative so slickly and beautifully that it's impossible to extricate one from the other. It's likely you will emerge awestruck from your first play-through, wishing the experience would continue yet nonetheless satisfied with its conclusion. It's difficult not to sound hyperbolic when discussing MGS4 because every part of its design seemingly fulfills its vision, without compromise. There is no halfway."
All the big critics think MGS4 is the best game ever made:

Reviewers have saidMetal Gear Solid4: Guns of the Patriots is one of the bestvideo gamesever made, and that includes this-gen systems such as PS3 and Xbox 360 all the way back to NES.
To review such a game is simply impossible. Not a single person lives or will ever live that is worthy of playing, experiencing Metal Gear Solid 4, let alone review it and any attempt to do so is a falsum and flawed by nature. And yet, by some miracle somehow I found myself happening upon the privilege of playing it, it was a strange and wonderful experience. Like shagging a super model, all the while you cannot shake the feeling of shame and guilt, the feeling that this should not be happening, that you are not worthy, that she is too good for you, but damn it if you are not going to enjoy it for as long it is going to last anyway...
With that being said, yes MGS4 is factually the best game ever made, whether you like it or not.
Also; hatred originating from disreputable gentleman shall continually persist..

So we are going by what critics say? This means Crysis 2 is the best game on consoles PERIOD. /thread No, not really, also, the game is liked by many but let's note one thing. I am not calling it a movie or anything, but the game obviously, regardless if you think it go or anything similar, that the games does not focus on gampelay as much as a cinematic media experience. The gameplay is limited in this way and does not add much gameplay. That gameplay is restricted because of focus on animation during the scenes then the actual gameplay control during gameplay and because of that the game is not balanced on both ends and that's a glaring noticeable flaw which cannot be ignored even if you would kill for the game. So best game of all time? It may be in your opinion but I believe simple logic debunks this.
