I hate it when people complain about the cut scenes in MGS, especially when they haven't even played it. The cutscenes in MGS are why I love and play the game. They are top of the line story telling. They will have you laughing, cheering, and deeply focused. Sure, it's like watching a movie at times but it's a DAMN good movie. The story is up there with anime and block buster TV and movie series. It truly gives impact and meaning to your actions and mission. The characters really grow on you and you can't help to love them all. If you don't enjoy Metal Gear, that's fine but I don't like how people bash on it on the basis that the cutscenes are too long. You can at least respect why people like it
^ That's an opinion though. I will admit, for as long as those cutscenes were, I do wish that there was more gameplay to go along with it. More gameplay in between cutscenes. But to call it hammy writing is an opinion, not fact. To you, the writing is hammy, so I could see why you wouldn't like the game. To a lot of people, including me, the writing is amazing. That goes for anything, books, movies, music... for example, my friend loves Twilight, I think it's stupid. Doesn't mean it's a bad book, just means I thought it was stupid.
Super Casal Xou That's a dificult one. MGSV's story is crap compared to MGS4, but from a gameplay perspective MGSV is awesome. It's been like 5 months that came out and I can't stop playingit. It's hell lot of fun...
Yeah, i have bought the game in pretty good condition for like 5 bucks, which is still pretty cheap for such a good game. Think it has to do with the fact, that while many, many people have bought the game back in the day, many sold it, because they couldn't stand the long cutscenes. There are many practically new versions of this game out there, because many people have just not finished it.
This game almost reaches perfection! After solving the story mode once, I passed it a couple more times just to unlock all the guns and costumes. Boss fights are epic and I saved every level of Themes 1, 2 and 5 to play them whenever I want. Online mode is also awesome, you should have shown it in the video. Anyway, awesome game. As many said, this game sold PS3s. xD
Acts 1, 2 and 3 are ok, but acts 4 and 5 are really the parts that makes this game so great. The return to Shadow Moses is one of my best gaming experiences I have ever had. The moment you enter that area with the end song of MGS1 in the background is almost magical.
I think mgs4 will be better then 5 for me 5 will still be a great game but there's a massive difference between David hayter voice and jack bower( I can't remember his real name) but I have really really high hopes for the game
Same with me. I've always been the type of person who was very good at understanding plots. When I first played MGS4, the only MGS game I had ever experienced was the MGS1 demo. However, I loved MGS4 so much that I replayed it instantly. I was picking up all the answers to questions I hadn't even yet heard, and I filled in the rest by doing some research. Since then, I've become a bonafide expert on the series' plot, and now I've beaten all of the games and can answer any question from memory.
mark i tell you, when play stealh games, i play stealth games.. when i play action, i play action games. mgs4 can play both in 2 ways but the priority is in stealth, not action like cod. most of people maybe 'not patient'.... or get boring they must wait for enemy soldier pass by, shot them with tranq. gun, but that make mgs series have deep strategy, not like cod. kids can play cod, but i'm sure they dont like mgs. i think more easier if you play very easy, finish with 0 alerts, get stealth. with stealth you can shoot anyone undetected, except gekko and dwarf gekko.
the problem with mgs4 is that they give you to many guns and the option to go in like fucking rambo. cant blame someone for using dominant strategy. thats why mgs3 was so much better, because there was a need for sneaking.
I dont own this or ps3. I know what happens at the end of the game. I want to try this game so bad but is buying a whole new console just to play this game worth it? i'll be spending a lot of money to play this game alone, should i buy a ps3
I always liked The balance of action and stealth in MGS's games, its good to see that you can play it the way you want, I prefer the stealth style any day of the goddamn week though.
@DAMitOsabA yea didnt that internal clock error last one whole day before it was fixed? Hasnt that red ring generator lasted for about 5 years already? and its still happening to this day?
One of the best games ever. Metal Gear is one of the few gaming series which really makes you think, and contemplate all of these people you kill, and what it means. A very philosophical series, and the closest games get to art.
This was the system seller for me! huge fan of the series! the cut scenes rock! I just sit back and really soak them in! its got the most involving storyline of any game I've ever played! those bits within the cut scenes where you can get flash backs with some well timed button presses are really cool
MGS4 was just too awesome in my opinion. I finally bought me a PS3 around this summer and it was the first game I decided to get. I've never played any of the MGS series at the time, but this game made me go back and play the rest. Need to play Snake Eater and i'll be straight.;)
I love the scene where you walk through the snowy field where you fought Sniper Wolf for the second time in MGS, enter the building and Otacon calls you to swap disk like he did with in the first MGS :D
probably one of my favorite games...ever, this is easily on top of my list of favorie games of this generation, right up there with Rayman Origins, Super Mario Galaxy, Bionic Commando Rearmed and Little Big Planet 2, this one is probably my favorite of those because it was the game tht BLEW MY MIND, everythng about this game, just WORKS, the cutsceens, the gamplay, the great online mode, the involving story, EVERYTHING about this game works, and thats why its my favorite metal gear solid game ev
HAHA, THE DIG DUG PUMP! THAT'S ACTUALLY FUCKING GENIUS. If someone incorporates that into a realistic-looking, gory stealth or action game, i'm fucking IN.
The gameplay evolved the series into what it should be. It can be played stealthily or not. The controls finally don't suck, and the camera is improved! The story shed the most light on the characters in a way past games didn't. The ending is one of the greatest moments in video games ever.
Iti s the best game series in my opinion after god of war series :) after finishing the fourth metalgearsolid i've started the old games on ps2 :) , then mgs3 and now I am still playing mgs2 on ps2 now in 2012 almost 2013 :) this series would never die ,it is that great !!! the diversity is huge ,colossal , the variety of functions of gameplay is amazing :) and differs from game to game :) it is unique and it is impossible to find similarities in other titles !!!
The Metal Gear Solid games are some of my favorite, but I don't have a PS3, and I don't know anyone who does, so I've never played this game, but when I get a PS3 eventually, this will be the first game I get for it.
I prefer Xbox over PS3, but I own both... This game is what pushed me over the edge to buy a PS3... I def couldn't miss this one after playing all the others... Awesome game
I have no problem with the long cutscenes. I respect your opinion. But I personally love the long cutscenes. MGS to me is a playable film. Not just a game, or a movie. It is like a great combination of both. Fusing the best aspects of both forms of entertainment. I do agree with this though. I wasn't big on the whole Otacon's love Naomi dying thing. It doesn't annoy me, but I could easily have done without it. But I digress. I actually liked the story better in 3, but the gameplay better in 4.
Huge fan of the MGS series, completed the earlier games atleast 5 times and I just bough this game 2 weeks ago but I dare to touch it yet or it's steal my life ;-)
POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD MGS is my favorite series of all time and even I didn't really LOVE this one. Not because of the gameplay (or the debatable lack there of) but its the story. How they tried to wrap things up mostly. Everything was just.. nanomachines. What caused Vamp to be immortal? NANOMACHINES! What kept Naomi in the story? NANOMACHINES! What made the troopers super soldiers? NANOMACHINES?!
I´ve never played a Metal Gear Solid game before, but i´m somewhat interested in the plot and i think Snake (Jack?) is a cool character. I'll be getting the Collection and MGS4 pretty soon. And seeing as how Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain looked, i think MGS5 is gonna be another game for me to buy afterwards. Time to dive into this plot!
Best MGS and also one of the best games ever made.For someone who have been with the series since the 1st one MGS4 truly delivers.I still need to play 5 but doubt it can top 4.
You should definitely play them in order of release because the stories are layered so that with each subsequent release you have a better understanding of the overall plotlines as well as some new questions. Playing them out of order would mean you'd lose out on the small touches Kojima added in to reference previous titles, which he does very frequently. Plus, the games get easier and more fun to play as they are released.
You can... Some things that are mentioned from previous games you wont understand... But MGS4 fills you in quite well whilst playing really. Its worth playing the others though.
I love the story in every game. But I am just like really into history. So I loved going back to the Cold War. It was cool. And Big Boss is just as interesting as Snake in my opinion. I love all the MGS games a lot. But I just love the Cold War time period, plus the ending of MGS3 is just amazing. But then again so is 4's. The ending of 4 was great in every way, the way it wrapped things up so perfectly.
RE4 wasn't really REish, at least not the RE I grew up with. But it was still a great and enjoyable game in its own right. I loved MGS4, one of the best games on the PS3. I love how it lets you play however you want. MGS1 on PSone is a legendary game, but I remember back in the day wanting to shoot up some shit, and the game often wouldn't let you play it that way. Both MGS and RE series are leagues ahead of Call of Duty, though.
According to Hideo Kojima, "MGS4 is a game that I created for hardcore MGS fans who have known and loved the series since MGS1." However, if you don't have the time and money, I recommend to watch GameTrailers's Metal Gear Retrospective series, which pretty-much briefs every single Metal Gear game prior to MGS4. That's what I did before playing MGS4, and I still really enjoyed it.
yeah, it's going to be a bit fiddly trying to re-wrap things again after MGS:GZ and MGSV add in a whole bunch of other details, we'll need an MGS6 or 7 to FINALLY get the story straight. I'd also really like to see that remake of Metal Gear 1 and 2 and perhaps that other game about The Boss in WW2
@Codahat If you don't play previous MGS games, you may find the story confusing. And if you DO play previous MGS games, you are equally likely to find the story confusing.
yessss, love this game. my 10th favorite game of all time, simply because I never have time to thoroughly enjoy it with family around, if I got a psvita which I do not want, then I would have more than enough time to play it, but of course I dont have one, they are too expensive.
I'd recommend it. Between the first 3 it had a lot of plot hole and this one fills in every one of them. If you play just this one then the other ones you'll get confused easily.
I think that it really depends on the particular game and type of story that is being told that determines whether cutscenes would be an appropriate method of story telling. Now I can't say for certain since I haven't actually played this game, but it seems as though, cutscenes are probably the best method in trying to convey the story of the game, as opposed to using something like Half-Life's method, because of all the information it's trying to get across. Plus, fans seem to truly enjoy them.
No. I didn't(I've played the first two MG games now). I played the first MGS game first and just kept up with the Solid series, And it really is fucking perfection. The MGS series is the only video game series to make me tear up. The characters and story is fucking perfection. Not to mention it is insanely addicting and absolutely fun.
i have an xbox of mine own and ive played the gears of war series and ive played the full metal gear solid series and i can tell you one thing no way gow is anyway near as good as this metal gear is in a different leauge. i went out and bought this game for to use on my brothers ps3 and its one of the best games ive played. and in my opinion its the best game series ever made!
Mark, are you aware of that there's a MGS parody where Snake uses the bike-pump from Dig Dug to kill an enemy or that was just a coincidence you said the same? Check you Metal Gear Awesome if you haven't already.
I had this opinion for years. This is a game that's basically a soap opera. If you give yourself to the story and the characters and treat it more like a book that is just playing itself out, it is a staggering piece of technical mastery. I don't know if I'd call it one of the best games ever made but it's definitely one of the best realized.
I can say this was the best game I have ever played. Not exaggerating.
MGS1 for me
Snaaakkee eeaaateerrrrr
same here MGS4
I hate it when people complain about the cut scenes in MGS, especially when they haven't even played it.
The cutscenes in MGS are why I love and play the game. They are top of the line story telling. They will have you laughing, cheering, and deeply focused. Sure, it's like watching a movie at times but it's a DAMN good movie. The story is up there with anime and block buster TV and movie series. It truly gives impact and meaning to your actions and mission. The characters really grow on you and you can't help to love them all.
If you don't enjoy Metal Gear, that's fine but I don't like how people bash on it on the basis that the cutscenes are too long. You can at least respect why people like it
I know I love cutscences!;)
^ That's an opinion though. I will admit, for as long as those cutscenes were, I do wish that there was more gameplay to go along with it. More gameplay in between cutscenes. But to call it hammy writing is an opinion, not fact. To you, the writing is hammy, so I could see why you wouldn't like the game. To a lot of people, including me, the writing is amazing. That goes for anything, books, movies, music... for example, my friend loves Twilight, I think it's stupid. Doesn't mean it's a bad book, just means I thought it was stupid.
The Monarch amen brother
To me, MGS4 is the best PS3 game. That is... until MGSV get released on September. But first we'll have to see if it ends being better or not.
+Soriddo Suneku 8 months from the future, MGS4 is still the best
The best ps3 game. Mgsv is the best ps4 game.
Super Casal Xou That's a dificult one. MGSV's story is crap compared to MGS4, but from a gameplay perspective MGSV is awesome. It's been like 5 months that came out and I can't stop playingit. It's hell lot of fun...
MulTiLAy3rd I'm playing it on PS3, don't have a PS4
MGS4 still better in my opinion
I like how your reviews are both funny and unbiased. You're awesome!!
Bought a practically new copy for 89 cents.
Best purchase that I ever made when it comes to videogames in my opinion.
gonna buy it tomorrow for 10$ on my good ol ps3 😂
SnowHawk7. 50 cent
SnowHawk7 where did you get it for that price lol, I got mine for 2 bucks
Yeah, i have bought the game in pretty good condition for like 5 bucks, which is still pretty cheap for such a good game. Think it has to do with the fact, that while many, many people have bought the game back in the day, many sold it, because they couldn't stand the long cutscenes. There are many practically new versions of this game out there, because many people have just not finished it.
blast from the past! this was the very first review i watched by classic game room. 6 years ago. wow.
Good review. Like listening to David blane play metal gear!
This game almost reaches perfection! After solving the story mode once, I passed it a couple more times just to unlock all the guns and costumes. Boss fights are epic and I saved every level of Themes 1, 2 and 5 to play them whenever I want. Online mode is also awesome, you should have shown it in the video.
Anyway, awesome game. As many said, this game sold PS3s. xD
Just a masterpiece.
This electronic experience is a masterpiece. I've spent countless hours just in the multiplayer MGO.
This game is perfection
Acts 1, 2 and 3 are ok, but acts 4 and 5 are really the parts that makes this game so great. The return to Shadow Moses is one of my best gaming experiences I have ever had. The moment you enter that area with the end song of MGS1 in the background is almost magical.
I think mgs4 will be better then 5 for me 5 will still be a great game but there's a massive difference between David hayter voice and jack bower( I can't remember his real name) but I have really really high hopes for the game

i think more easier if you play very easy, finish with 0 alerts, get stealth. with stealth you can shoot anyone undetected, except gekko and dwarf gekko.
they give you an M60 at one point............their just taunting you
the problem with mgs4 is that they give you to many guns and the option to go in like fucking rambo. cant blame someone for using dominant strategy. thats why mgs3 was so much better, because there was a need for sneaking.
The reason MGS4 is great is that you can go in guns blazing and sneak, something I feel is also somewhat applicable to MGS3.
I love mark honestly he is a true gamer and love his input on games i can sit here all day and listen to him review games=]
I dont own this or ps3. I know what happens at the end of the game. I want to try this game so bad but is buying a whole new console just to play this game worth it? i'll be spending a lot of money to play this game alone, should i buy a ps3
River Rhodes when you say cheap do you mean £80 or less? Because im considering buying one for £80. can i find it any cheaper?
I always liked The balance of action and stealth in MGS's games, its good to see that you can play it the way you want, I prefer the stealth style any day of the goddamn week though.
Fuck this, this is how you don't play Metal Gear!!!
+ShionShinigami the game is designed to play however you want
Lol. When he says "I don't like to play like that" and starts shooting everyone.
that was really when he said "but i don't play that" lolzzz great review love it:)
Only 5 bucks at GameStop!
i re bought it two days ago for 99cents :(
@DAMitOsabA
yea didnt that internal clock error last one whole day before it was fixed?
Hasnt that red ring generator lasted for about 5 years already? and its still happening to this day?
why even buy mgs if you're going to play like rambo smh
Damn good review =D
How dare you not play a video game the same way I do! This review is garbage!
+The_Weasel_2012 :V
One of the best games ever. Metal Gear is one of the few gaming series which really makes you think, and contemplate all of these people you kill, and what it means. A very philosophical series, and the closest games get to art.
Thanks for the comment. I will play them in order of release as you said!
This was the system seller for me! huge fan of the series! the cut scenes rock! I just sit back and really soak them in! its got the most involving storyline of any game I've ever played! those bits within the cut scenes where you can get flash backs with some well timed button presses are really cool

Did the reviewer do the parody of the twist mop thing? haha that was awesome and sounds a lot like this reviewer doing the dub over.
ur voice goes down smooth... it's like butter for ears...
Hello is there any chance you can tell me what setup u used to record this? did you use a dvr? a capture card? if so which? Thanks in advance
@Shonaripa
One ATST also apears in the Empire Strikes Back during the AT-AT attack.
I love the scene where you walk through the snowy field where you fought Sniper Wolf for the second time in MGS, enter the building and Otacon calls you to swap disk like he did with in the first MGS :D
Could You review the other MGS games? or HD collection?
or my favourite Peace Walker ? :>
i remember when i played this. i haven't played any of the previous mgs games but i loved this one so much i wish they would just make a movie of it.
probably one of my favorite games...ever, this is easily on top of my list of favorie games of this generation, right up there with Rayman Origins, Super Mario Galaxy, Bionic Commando Rearmed and Little Big Planet 2, this one is probably my favorite of those because it was the game tht BLEW MY MIND, everythng about this game, just WORKS, the cutsceens, the gamplay, the great online mode, the involving story, EVERYTHING about this game works, and thats why its my favorite metal gear solid game ev
@DaXboxRepairman Socom is gameplay wise like MGS4?
Wow,didn't know that.
HAHA, THE DIG DUG PUMP! THAT'S ACTUALLY FUCKING GENIUS. If someone incorporates that into a realistic-looking, gory stealth or action game, i'm fucking IN.
I have been a big fan of metal Gear solid for about two years and this one was my most recent purchase
This guy is my favorite reviewer xD
It’s more of an interactive movie than a game!
The gameplay evolved the series into what it should be. It can be played stealthily or not. The controls finally don't suck, and the camera is improved! The story shed the most light on the characters in a way past games didn't. The ending is one of the greatest moments in video games ever.
@iamfreeman122 Yes you can replay the game with all of your unlockables; camo's, weapons, abilities,gadgets, face camo etc.
a modern classic and truly an experience you will never forget candidate for best game of the 7th generation.
I wouldn't consider this a good review, but it's nice that you got the time to do it anyway.
Iti s the best game series in my opinion after god of war series :) after finishing the fourth metalgearsolid i've started the old games on ps2 :) , then mgs3 and now I am still playing mgs2 on ps2 now in 2012 almost 2013 :) this series would never die ,it is that great !!! the diversity is huge ,colossal , the variety of functions of gameplay is amazing :) and differs from game to game :) it is unique and it is impossible to find similarities in other titles !!!
The Metal Gear Solid games are some of my favorite, but I don't have a PS3, and I don't know anyone who does, so I've never played this game, but when I get a PS3 eventually, this will be the first game I get for it.
I prefer Xbox over PS3, but I own both... This game is what pushed me over the edge to buy a PS3... I def couldn't miss this one after playing all the others... Awesome game
1:54-1:57 lol I love it when Snake does that.
i have completed this game more than 20 times still gives me time to fly by completing it again and again
I have no problem with the long cutscenes. I respect your opinion. But I personally love the long cutscenes. MGS to me is a playable film. Not just a game, or a movie. It is like a great combination of both. Fusing the best aspects of both forms of entertainment. I do agree with this though. I wasn't big on the whole Otacon's love Naomi dying thing. It doesn't annoy me, but I could easily have done without it. But I digress. I actually liked the story better in 3, but the gameplay better in 4.
Jeez 10 years flew by so fast
can you review the older metal gear games?
this came out in 2008, and it still looks better than most games out there!
Huge fan of the MGS series, completed the earlier games atleast 5 times and I just bough this game 2 weeks ago but I dare to touch it yet or it's steal my life ;-)
This game is superb, if u haven't played it I recommend it. A used copy is real cheap, less then $10.
i dont own a ps3. should i buy a ps3 just to play this game?
0:45 exactly what i thought when i first got the drum lol
POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD
MGS is my favorite series of all time and even I didn't really LOVE this one. Not because of the gameplay (or the debatable lack there of) but its the story. How they tried to wrap things up mostly. Everything was just.. nanomachines. What caused Vamp to be immortal? NANOMACHINES! What kept Naomi in the story? NANOMACHINES! What made the troopers super soldiers? NANOMACHINES?!
I love this game. Possibly, the best Metal Gear game I've ever played, imho.
I´ve never played a Metal Gear Solid game before, but i´m somewhat interested in the plot and i think Snake (Jack?) is a cool character. I'll be getting the Collection and MGS4 pretty soon. And seeing as how Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain looked, i think MGS5 is gonna be another game for me to buy afterwards. Time to dive into this plot!
Best MGS and also one of the best games ever made.For someone who have been with the series since the 1st one MGS4 truly delivers.I still need to play 5 but doubt it can top 4.

You should definitely play them in order of release because the stories are layered so that with each subsequent release you have a better understanding of the overall plotlines as well as some new questions. Playing them out of order would mean you'd lose out on the small touches Kojima added in to reference previous titles, which he does very frequently. Plus, the games get easier and more fun to play as they are released.
is metal gear solid 4 a first Pearson game or third Pearson game?
You can... Some things that are mentioned from previous games you wont understand... But MGS4 fills you in quite well whilst playing really. Its worth playing the others though.
When you continue to shoot the M60 does snake start screaming like AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH or the screaming are the guys that Mark is killing.
Andrej BossGaming it's Snake doing his best Rambo impression
be able to fallow it right (sorry for the misspelling)
I've finished it 10 times, its been announced trophies and extras will be released for MGS4 sometime in the future.
this made me subscribe
I love the story in every game. But I am just like really into history. So I loved going back to the Cold War. It was cool. And Big Boss is just as interesting as Snake in my opinion. I love all the MGS games a lot. But I just love the Cold War time period, plus the ending of MGS3 is just amazing. But then again so is 4's. The ending of 4 was great in every way, the way it wrapped things up so perfectly.
Love the MGS series, i want this game.
RE4 wasn't really REish, at least not the RE I grew up with. But it was still a great and enjoyable game in its own right. I loved MGS4, one of the best games on the PS3. I love how it lets you play however you want. MGS1 on PSone is a legendary game, but I remember back in the day wanting to shoot up some shit, and the game often wouldn't let you play it that way. Both MGS and RE series are leagues ahead of Call of Duty, though.
do you need to play the past MGS games to play this one?
what for sort of game is it
should i buy it?
and i heared something about a new mgs?
According to Hideo Kojima, "MGS4 is a game that I created for hardcore MGS fans who have known and loved the series since MGS1." However, if you don't have the time and money, I recommend to watch GameTrailers's Metal Gear Retrospective series, which pretty-much briefs every single Metal Gear game prior to MGS4.

One of the best game made ever! Live with it and aceept it!!!
i got stuck in act 4, (crying wolf boss battle) what`s a good strategy to beat em.
@kilrmax
Uh, do you mean between 2 and 4? EVERY game in the series takes place between three and four.
I got this game for $2 brand new, but I got it about a week ago. Definitely worth every penny.
@IrishTim13 actually the last cutscene i an hour and a half long, trust me i timed it
@psynema MGS4 basically lets u choose how stealthy or action-y you want to play (most of the time). Both are fun and work well.
I find it more fun to play stealthly, but I like the fact that it allows the player to do whatever they want.
@clouds5 In Act 3 you can change that, that's all I'm going to say to avoid spoilers.
@silentzombie161 but story wise Rising takes place in between 3 and 4.
Can some please tell me if snake died at the end i didn't really get what happened it was really ambiguous
I dug this review, as usual! You dig?
"Sneaking up on your opponents, and assassinating them... Silently.
(Silence)
I DON'T LIKE TO PLAY LIKE THAT!
(KABOOOOOOOOOM!)"
Epic transition! xD
@Codahat If you don't play previous MGS games, you may find the story confusing. And if you DO play previous MGS games, you are equally likely to find the story confusing.
0:25 what was that big thing?
yessss, love this game. my 10th favorite game of all time, simply because I never have time to thoroughly enjoy it with family around, if I got a psvita which I do not want, then I would have more than enough time to play it, but of course I dont have one, they are too expensive.
I'd recommend it. Between the first 3 it had a lot of plot hole and this one fills in every one of them. If you play just this one then the other ones you'll get confused easily.
I think that it really depends on the particular game and type of story that is being told that determines whether cutscenes would be an appropriate method of story telling. Now I can't say for certain since I haven't actually played this game, but it seems as though, cutscenes are probably the best method in trying to convey the story of the game, as opposed to using something like Half-Life's method, because of all the information it's trying to get across. Plus, fans seem to truly enjoy them.
No. I didn't(I've played the first two MG games now). I played the first MGS game first and just kept up with the Solid series, And it really is fucking perfection. The MGS series is the only video game series to make me tear up. The characters and story is fucking perfection. Not to mention it is insanely addicting and absolutely fun.
i have an xbox of mine own and ive played the gears of war series and ive played the full metal gear solid series and i can tell you one thing no way gow is anyway near as good as this metal gear is in a different leauge. i went out and bought this game for to use on my brothers ps3 and its one of the best games ive played. and in my opinion its the best game series ever made!
One of the best games ever made, I love it
Mark, are you aware of that there's a MGS parody where Snake uses the bike-pump from Dig Dug to kill an enemy or that was just a coincidence you said the same? Check you Metal Gear Awesome if you haven't already.
LMFAO "The M60 is great for stealth because if you blow everybody away, there is no one to hear you."
I had this opinion for years. This is a game that's basically a soap opera. If you give yourself to the story and the characters and treat it more like a book that is just playing itself out, it is a staggering piece of technical mastery. I don't know if I'd call it one of the best games ever made but it's definitely one of the best realized.
