    MGS 4 PS3 Review

    Navneet Prakash, Jun 21, 2008 1129 hrs IST

    I remember playing the first MGS way back in 1998; an unforgettable experience. Today, after 10 years, I review the last game in the series, one that's as good as all its predecessors.

    Unparalleled gameplay and graphics, top-notch presentation, great sound effects, epic boss battles, high replay value, the most action-packed game in the series, brilliant cut-scenes, one of the best games ever made, Metal Gear Online.

    Cons? Are you kidding me?

Metal Gear Online

MGS online is a great add-on and offers MP action with up to 16 players. I will be reviewing the online component in the coming weeks. I have played some games online and it is truly amazing, and I will be writing a more detailed review in the coming weeks.



Easter Eggs

The game is filled with surprises throughout, like a detailed Playboy magazine, an iPod that can be used to listen to in-game tracks, unique guns and so on. A really cool feature is Snake's Octocamo during the cut-scenes. When a cut-scene is triggered, Snake's Octocamo suit will display the last texture it adapted. At times, this includes a very ugly complete white look, but this can be changed by simply flicking the PS3 controller. When you flick the PS3 controller, Snake's OctoCamo loses its current texture and goes back to the original black. Another cool feature is the use of the MK-II during briefings. You can use the MK-II to move around during the briefing cut-scenes. Moving around the briefing area has its perks, as you will pick up interesting things like a camera, which can be used to click photographs to be viewed later. A really interesting thing to do with the camera is click all the bosses from the Beauty and the Beast group, but that is an Easter Egg you should discover on your own.

hey **** all you guys not giving this game its props, truly there are no flaws in this game. this coming from someone who never played any of the other mgs titles. depending on how you play this game, its either the epitamy of action or stealth titles. gameplay is flawless, story line is absolutely amazing, even without the background knowledge of like 6 other games. drool all you wish over GoW2 as i do, believe me, this is by far the best titles out over all consoles and is a must buy. best 50 dolllars i ever spent besides a half quarter of dro....

MGS4 a 'PERFECT' game? Not at all, dudes! Well, to me, it is not perfect, but it is an awesome game, though! Not a huge fan of the series--sorry, MGS-fans! Because I AM A HUGE FAN OF "GEARS OF WAR 2"! Solid Snake? Big deal! Marcus Fenix & the whole Delta squad rules!!!!

I got my copy of this game, but to me it is not a "perfect" game after all. maybe because I was never in to the Metal Gear series ever since from the first game more than twenty-some years ago. To me, I'll probably give it a 9.5 or 9.6 grade, that is in my opinion, y'know! The game that I am really looking forward to is, "GEARS OF WAR 2", and why, you might ask? Because I don't like the whole MGS series, but I love the GEARS OF WAR thing instead--besides, this is my kind of shooting game...ever!! In my opinion, GEARS OF WAR 2 is the real deal for this year and you can argue with that statement if you want to, okay?

I own both the 360 and the PS3 so not a fanboy, but have to say this MSG4 is something else. I was not that impressed till the act 1 but now I am in the ACT 3 and its like WOW, OMG what the hell did they make its awesome a true first of its kind killer title on the PS3, if you have a PS3 get this one!

I own an Xbox and I am certainly NOT drooling over this game. No doubt it is a very good game, but I somehow do not like the MGS series after I played the original. What I am drooling about is GeOW 2 !!!

So what do you remember about party one? How is this a perfect game when most of the game play is just video??? That?s why the Blue Ray disc was full, it was full of video clips, and not enough game play. How is this the best game???? You don?t even speak facts and say why its good, accept the story line? What about the game play? Don?t give me that it?s the best crap. & Ivan_PSP, don?t worry we 360 owners aren?t drooling over your baby =o). MGS 4 is OK, not one of the best but its pretty good from what I saw, but nothing to drool over. GTA is better then this =o)

You're so full of crap you must be bursting. I'm playing through MGS4 for the second time and I'm skipping all of the cut-scenes to get a good completion time and the gameplay is fantastic. Lots of action packed shoot-outs, chase scenes, and boss battles. You are the one who needs to "speak facts". PS. GTA4 is agonizingly boring, utter crap in terms of gameplay.

The game's ending is the saddest most emotional ending I have ever seen in a game, its Lord Of The Rings material, and so I cried, I really did, over a game!. I still cant believe it, but its true.
