Metal Gear Solid 4 PS3
M**S
One of My Favorite Movies
Do not buy this game expecting to control a character for extended periods of time. The best way to describe this game (and any Metal Gear Solid game for that matter) is that it's an interactive movie. It is a story driven game. That being said, this is a fantastic movie.If you haven't played any other Metal Gear Solid games, I highly recommend you do so before buying this game. The story of this game is mind-boggling enough as it is. I can't imagine playing through this game without having played at least one of the previous three titles. It would still be somewhat understandable, but you would miss SO much.I can't go into much detail about the story, but just trust that it is epic. If you don't trust me, look at any video game review site, and this will be ranked as one of the best PS3 titles. For a game that makes you watch cut scenes more than it lets you play the game, that's really impressive.The gameplay is enjoyable as well, but it really shouldn't be the reason you buy this game, and it isn't the reason this game has such good reviews. The less-than-20-hour game is split about half and half into gameplay and cut scenes, and the gameplay is split about half and half between stealth and action. For the stealth parts, you are generally trying to get from point A to point B without being spotted. For the action parts, you are generally fighting a (weird) boss with your myriad of weapons. However, the boss battles sometimes incorporate some stealth into the mix, and the stealth parts obviously require some gunmanship if you get spotted. It's also worth mentioning that the game is played entirely in the third-person.As I mentioned earlier, the cut scenes are of the highest caliber. The controller vibrates ever so slightly when your character, Snake, is touched on the shoulder. There are incredibly long scenes involving character development, such as the recurring scenes that depict a little girl trying so hard to cook eggs correctly, but failing to do so until a friend helps her out. And the ending of the game is more intense than most movies I've seen.So in short, this is a great game and even a better movie. If you own a PS3, you need to buy this game.

Pure Awesomnesss!
This was the first video game I've ever played for the PS3 system, and let me tell you it's AWESOME! The controls were easy to handle, the graphics were amazing, and the story was phenomenal! This game is NOT to be underestimated. It's one of the best games you can play for this system. Don't rob yourself of this opportunity and BUY THIS GAME!!!Two things you need to keep in mind, though.1. Make sure you have at least 1-2 hours to play the game. The cutscenes are long, and you need them to understand the game. Don't let this turn you off. It's like watching the movie.2. I've never played the multiplayer. I haven't because the update patch seems to be taking a while to download (I have a feeling it's more that 4gb) so I canceled. My internet is slow (1mbps) so I guess it's my fault.Happy gaming!!!

Bought As A Replacement Copy
Great Game. I was devastated by a loss of 5 of my games when I had to leave my dorm and was unable to return for Spring Semester. I replaced this and GOW3. Still has replay ability after all these years. The Octocamo is still unrivaled in terms of stealth. This game is still Groundbreaking and one of the best Games to Date. I'm a big Playstation fan and I love their exclusives and tend to buy all my games on this platform but I think next I'm going to invest in a Headset and larger HD I still have an 80GB PS3. MGS4 Great game Def worth buyingRecommended gamesBatman: Arkham City, Call of Duty MW3, Uncharted 3, God of War 3, Resistance 3, Heavy Rain, Assassin's Creed 2, Killzone 2, Infamous 2,Uncharted 2, LA Noire, Red Dead Redemption (Game of the Year Edition if you haven't already bought it), Final Fantasy XIII Battlefield 3, Call of Duty: Black Ops ,and Mass Effect 2

Garbage. Unless you like garbage.
The first scene looks like you are controlling an old lady. I don't care for games that just try to create strange robots just to try and create something cool. Yawnarama.This game is not a sandbox, it's a cluncky maze with poor graphics.

I played MGS4....Now everything else just sucks
Title pretty much sums up my feelings.MGS4 is and probably always will be the best stealth action game of all time. There is simply no half way here. Kojima has finally perfected his 3D world that he started with Metal Gear Solid. Every area has more thought put into it than most full-length games for sale out now. The story wraps up the franchise in a unique and thought-provoking manner.Oh? What's this? You have a problem with complex, moving stories that encompass the faults and triumphs of human behavior?I pity the fool that would bash this game for its cut scenes.There is only one con of this game: after you play it, you'll look at your other games and just sit there wishing they were as cool.Buy it, Play it, LOVE IT<3

Great game
The game was as you would think a metal gear game. Lengthy cutscenes, tons of dialogue, huge plottwist, and sneaking? well yes lots of sneaking trust me it might not look like it but sneaking is essential in this game is not a 3rd person shooter it still is metal gear, the cutscenes might turn off people but i embrace them because im a huge fan of the metal gear solid storyline. The bosse were great and the final scenes can only be descrived as an epic throw back to all the pasts games. I seriously dont recomend this to be your 1st MGS game you play cause if it you'll be really lost on the plot. Is an absolute must buy for mgs fans.

Good Item
La entrega fue a tiempo, lo unico es el precio que se encuentra al mismo precio de Best Buy, cuando me entere me di cuenta de la no tan buena eleccion. Pero estoy satisfecho con la empresa que lo vende por su cumplimiento. Gracias AmazonThe delivery was on time, the only thing is the price that is at the same price as Best Buy, when I found out I noticed the not so good choice. But I'm satisfied with the company that sells it for compliance. Thanks Amazon
