Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots PS3
Amazon.com Product Description
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, is a next-gen experience complete with top-of-the-line graphics and surround sound designed for the Sony PlayStation 3. Featuring the most revealing display of Kojima Production's premier title, MSG4 details the world where Snake must under go his final mission. In a world overrun by private military companies (PMCs), wars are no longer fought over nations or ideologies. Instead, the wars of the future are micro-managed by overarching PMCs, right down to the bullet. New gadgets and abilities fuel Snake's journey deep into the enemy domains of the Middle East, South America, and beyond. New gear includes "Metal Gear Mk. II," the ultimate reconnaissance tool, and "Solid Eye," which gives Snake real-time information on enemies and his surroundings. 
Old timer Snake returns for what is slated as the final installment in the Metal Gear series. View larger. | 
New and old characters abound in MGS4. View larger. | 
PMCs have run amok and the world is at war. View larger. | 
Octacamo will help Snake blend into surroundings. View larger. | Joined by a familiar cast of characters, Snake must once again return to the battlefield to confront his lifelong rival, Liquid Ocelot, who is manipulating the world's wars from the one world where soldiers will always have a place. But Liquid Ocelot is not the only one who will be able to manipulate the world's wars--Snake can destabilize opposing forces by working behind the scenes, supporting the local militia as they fight PMCs, creating a smokescreen that allows Snake to move freely within the war-zone. MGS4 is a next-generation adventure set in the aftermath of MGS2: Sons of Liberty. The concept behind the latest Metal Gear Solid project is "no place to hide," and this edition in the series will force Snake into unexpected circumstances with an all-new storyline that breaks away in some ways from the previous MGS franchise entries. We don't want to spoil it for you, but, producer Hideo Kojima did reveal some very juicy tidbits about the game and the storyline when it was first announced at E3 of 2006. "Until now," said Kojima, "we've released two entries of the MSX2 Metal Gear series, and three entries in the Metal Gear Solid series. Add to this Portable Ops, and you get a total of six titles. All mysteries will be cleared up in Metal Gear Solid 4." Kojima was very clear about the finality of MSG4, leaving gamers to wonder, "Will Snake die?!" When asked if the story will come to this sort of an end, Kojima responded without the slightest bit of vagueness, "It will come to an end." The MGS4 E3 trailer showed a number of characters from the Metal Gear and Metal Gear Solid histories. This final installment is sure to deliver loads of cameos, in fact, it is rumored that nearly all the characters from the series will make an appearance. In addition to a return of classic Metal Gear Solid characters, the gameplay systems from part three are also expected to make a comeback. The camouflage system from part three will make it into MGS4, with the addition of "OctoCamo," Snake's most advanced stealth suit to date. The name appears to be formed from the words "Octopus" and "camoflauge," and players will be awestruck by the chameleon-like camo that changes with the surroundings. OctoCamo allows Snake to blend in with his environment as it digitally manifests nearby textures in real time. Think if it this way, if Snake is standing next to a wall worn out with holes, he too will appear to be riddled with holes. It has also been revealed that MGS4 will have online play, but no specifics have been released. Although very little information is known about the game's visuals, rumor has it that MGS4 is expected to be the finest representation of console graphics on the PS3, and it is expected that they will just get better and better as the game nears its release date.

 ROCK "SOLID" BABY! September 8, 2008
A masterpiece has been born.After three console generations of waiting,we the gaming culture finally kneel in the presence of true gaming excellence.In Metal Gear Solid 4 you play as "SOLID SNAKE", the legendary CIA hero.Gameplay is "SOLID".As Snake,you will be treated to some of the most advanced weaponry ever seen, such as: the Mark II, a remote controlled robotic sentry which can be used to scout,disable bombs and traps,and gather weapons and data.Other tech includes the SOLID EYE,an eyepatch which relays real time information about all persons and objects in your field of vision such as: stress levels,weapon types and friend/foe .Snake also uses Octocamo,a muscle suit that adapts to anything it touches making Snake the same color and texture.There are over 70 weapon types in the game all of which are upgradable. Snake can now move and shoot in first person view as well, giving the game an almost "Call of Duty 4" style.Great effort was put into the real time war sequences in which bombs explode and bullets constantly fly by just close enough to deliver the most heartpounding portrayal of war.Story is where Metal Gear Solid 4 really shines,it is true that there is literally hours of movie to be watched but,this story is an epic of unrivaled proportions.Action sequence after jaw dropping action sequence will leave you stunned,old faces return to deliver some of the most intense fights and chases ever seen,secrets are revealed and mysteries explained.Bottom line, this is by far one of the most unique and epic games to have ever been made.As a long time Metal Gear fan,I can say that this does not dissapoint,it has only improved 100% over every past flaw.There is tons of playable game to even out with the video but you can't help but rush to see the next movie.I am proud to have made Metal Gear Solid 4 my first "Next Gen" experience and I hope you will enjoy it as well. Also,"DO NOT" leave when the credits roll,for all will finally be explained.
Flawed Masterpiece September 7, 2008
This game is a masterpiece hands down and I won't go into detail b/c there are plenty of other reviews for doing that....the only problem with this game is what you've already heard: too many cut-scenes, not enough play time. Other than that, its addictive and Metal Gear Online is just as great.
A Must Buy If you're a PS3 owner September 7, 2008
Metal Gear Solid is what I call a excellent game. It's stunning in graphics, and the storyline is as exciting as a summer blockbuster movie. The voice acting is should also be noted as well. So in short, if you're a PS3 owner, you owe it to yourself to own this game. I highly recommend it.
awesomelicious September 7, 2008
this game is great the storyline is complicated for people who started the series at this sequel. but it is great. there are lots of cut scenes and mission briefings. this game is good for first time shooter game players. i did not play that many games involved with shooting, but i checked it out and the graphics were awesome. there are high tech cqc holds if you sneak up on some one u can use cqc. it is awesome. the funny thing is how the first boss(beast) is harder than the rest(in my opinion) haha. overall i still think this game is great and if you are deciding u want it then buy it seriously
BEST GAME EVER!!! September 5, 2008
