The worst of the four. Compared to magnificient MGS 1 or 2 it's just a big nothing. Overcomplicated, pathetically "funny" where it doesn't need to be. Plot is just ridiculous ("if you don't know how to explain something just put some nanomashines into that"). I know that MGS2 was really twisted, but it had that kind of post-modern magic and book-like storytelling. MGS4 has nothing in these terms.
Gameplay is chaotic, obsolete, it plays like ten years ago. The only thing that was really, i say really awesome was the atmosphere of Eastern Europe. Dark, rainy, everything with that sandy-yellow glow, narrow streets, suspense - that's how next-gen MGS should look like... But why it was such a short period of gameplay interrupted with some stupid shooting and chasing section?
MGS3 was bad, true, but this is worse. Kojima, how could you do this to me? :(
MGS4 is realy asome.I beat the game like 5 times and I still play it.Some of the charcters have come back from MGS2,MGS3 like Liqaud,Snakes dad,BIG MAMA,and Otcon.
MGS4 =]
Amazingly epic, cinematic game that truly completes the series. Be warned, however -- there are many, many cinematics, some hitting up to 20 minutes long (you can pause them, though), and you will not understand what's going on if you don't remember the events of the Metal Gear Solid 1, 2, and 3.
it's MGS!!! shame on you guys for even wanting people to submit a review for this game. It's an insult to Hideo Kojima : ) kidding aside,
MGS is my favorite all time game. Hideo Kojima knows how to capture people with it's cinamatic drama, top-notch beautiful action
gameplay and the relationships that un-fold with each character.
The best MGS game next to Snake Eater, the only problem with this game is that it's too short. If you replayed it and skipped the cutscenes, you'd only have 2-3 hours of gameplay.
I have been struggling for a very long time now with the rating of this game. I couldn't decide whether it's a 4/5 or 5/5. So I thought to myself. Would I put it in the same epic category as Ico, Halo: CE, Final Fantasy VII and MGS 3: Snake Eater? No, I wouldn't. Not even close.
The main negative part with Guns of the Patriots are the long, and sometimes even boring, cutscenes. The best (worst) example is the ending cutscene at the graveyard. That made me fall asleep.
Beside that I think that the game was great and a worthy final(?) game in the story of Solid Snake.
