What can I say, after finishing ACT I a little over five hours I'm left speechless. The presentation, audio, gameplay, story and phenomenal in-game cut scenes that are moving the story forward had be glued to my TV.

I have had some experience since I was a Metal Gear Online beta tester and I was pleased to see that controls haven't changed much and are still very responsive. For new folks it will take a little time to get accustomed to them but with MENU options giving you all the moves shown all it takes is little time to master them.

You can also push SELECT at any time and controls are shown as well for easy access.

Meeting the Rat Patrol for the first time is quite a scene as is getting more familiar with amazing FROGs unit.

MGS4 really impressed me with audio, the bullets sounds are unbelievable realistic, you can hear the footsteps, wind blowing the war torn suburbs of rampages city while dust and blood cover your gaming screen in midst of battles.

I still have quite a way to go, but my first impression is beyond my expectations. This was my most anticipated game of the year and so far, it hasn't failed me in any way. Masterpiece of a game in every way, bravo Kojima.
