The editors didn't like

  • Excessive cutscenes makes it feel like a directors cut
  • Game doesnt encourage sneaking as much as it could
  • Writing could be better (and boss fights
  • As noted)
  • Drebin fundamentally changes the core MGS experience
  • Metal Gear Online is hindered by a clunky interface and reliance on the PlayStation Network.
  • Storytelling is heavyhanded
  • The singleplayer experience ends.
  • At times you might feel like you want a little game with your cutscenes
  • But you can always skip the cutscenes if you just want to get back into the action. The load time of roughly 3 minutes between each act might annoy some players
  • Especially given the...
  • Eventually it has to end
  • Not enough gameplay
  • Cutscenes are a tad too long at times
  • That thing with the install time isn’t funny Kojima Productions (you’ll see what I mean).
  • Camera angle is a little awkward
  • Elements in the environment hinders snake’s ability to use a sniper rifle and even the Solid Eye. The game also has way too many flashbacks and zoom ins that often mute the important information during briefing sess...

  • Breathtaking graphics and sound. Suits any style of play. Hollywood-class story
  • This is apparently the last in the series
  • Sets a new benchmark in cinematic gaming. No PS3-owner should be without it ...

  • Amazing cut scenes, Incredibly tense, tight, gameplay, Cool gadgets such as the Octo-Camo suit
  • Numerous references will be lost on newcomers, Certain cut scenes act like theyre never going to end
  • If youve followed Snake from the beginning,you simply have to play this era-closing masterpiece

  • Greatly improved controls, graphics, and general gameplay from previous versions, with quite possibly the best story in gaming today
  • Some will be turned off by the long cutscenes and convoluted storyline

  • Abstract:  A brilliant game, with some ambitious but often relentless cut-scenes. Its a PS3 killer-app alright, but for all its qualities, its a little way off perfect. Konami - Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots price Buy Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the...

  • that succeeds hugely at everything it sets out to do. It sets new standards for graphics, sound, gameplay, and storytelling, and it may be years before it is equaled, let alone surpassed. You will not play a better game this year-maybe even this decad...

  • An epic story, incredible opening Acts, Snake is cool as the proverbial cucumber
  • Some cutscenes can go on a little too long, a few bits of hokey dialogue
  • As a game on its own, it’s stunning in its own right. Ignore the naysayers who claim the story is dull and tedious, they’re just fools. Metal Gear Solid 4 is simply fantastic

  • The best-looking game on the PS3, Technically sound, Lengthy single player campaign, Impeccable action gaming, Stealth mechanics own
  • Less emphasis on stealth
  • Just as stealth games aren’t for everyone, the relatively sedate pace of cinematic gaming may seem unappealing to many. If you prefer fast-paced action games that keep you on your toes, chances are you’ve not liked the Metal Gear Solid se...
