Review Summary

Metal Gear 4: Guns of the Patriots is an adventure game. It is about the hero, Solid Snake who is on his final mission. He is an aging and fatigued character that is in the middle of a revolutionary battlefield. The locations in the game include the Middle East and South America. Snake was asked to kill his enemy, Liquid Ocelot. Before he reached that scene, he must get trough a sequence of battlefields by using his legendary stealth abilities and OctoCamo, a high-tech suit. The Octocamo suit is used to avoid detection while he can reach of his target. The new chapter in Hideo Kojima’s legendary strategic spying action series, the characters such as Meryl Silverburgh, Raiden, Hal ‘Otacon’ Emmerich, Eva and Roy Campbell are back in the game. The PS 3 gameplay is featured with a new remote-controlled Metal Gear Mk. II and better Close Quarters Combat system (CQC), and Metal Gear Solid 4 rounds out the Metal Gear saga with a suitable cinematic and fascinating final outing. The new gameplay permits him to flawlessly merge into the environment, which he is capable of stalking his enemies like never before. Viewers like the game especially the Octacamo suit which is available in different colour that suits him with the environment.

    When the final lines are spoken - a typical Metal Gear cross between the touching and the comic - it seems only then MGS4's real influence on its player begins. Its unlikely any game this year will have divided fans and created so many debates, which was perhaps Kojima's plan all along. Despite his constant attempts to pass the series on to his team, its hard to imagine anyone else being able to handle the knotted hydra that he has created. Many will mourn the end (or... Read more

    To sum up Snake’s exit is honestly more then we could’ve hoped for. It’s certainly what Sony needed for the PS3 and the constant nods and cheeky references to earlier games will appease the hardcore fans who have been waiting for so long –and that’s ultimately who this game was made for. Like the previous titles, it’s bound to split gamers in half and cause many a debate over its ‘merits’ but that just goes to prove how important the series is to people. Read more

  4. Review: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (PS3)

    25 June 2008

    It’s these opening hours that feel the most alien, with the chapters that follow tapping into adventures of old. The portion that follows in South America harks heavily back to Snake Eater; the combination of Snake’s new OctoCamo (which automatically mirrors the colours and patterns of any surface Snake lies on) and the open and vegetated maps providing an atmosphere that encompasses the best of Big Boss’ Metal Gear adventure.

    When I think of the best games of all time metal gear solid comes to mind. It is in a class among the likes of zelda and final fantasy. The problem with these games is you always have your personal favourite. Mine has been Zelda- Ocarina of time for around 10 years now. I take this game as a comparison for all other games to see if they can come close to it. So far nothing has. When I picked up MGS 4 I honestly thought it would be rubbish. Its predecessors (MGS 1 - 3)... Read more

    This is, to be honest, the reason I bought a Playstation 3. My mate bought it the day of release, I went to his house a few days after he had completed it, and, wow. He booted up Shadow Moses, and I was overcome with nostalgia. I remembered the days of running through the Nuclear Disposal Facility for that first time, getting to grips with the best character I had ever controlled. Solid Snake, voiced in in "Solid" series by the excellent David Hayter. And the voices ... Read more
