MGS4 Revisited

MGS 4 has been out for a while, but being a fan, I can still feel like talking about it. As many of you know, I am a huge fan of the Metal Gear Solid Series. From MGS 1 thru 3 I've usually taken off of work on release day, and don't come out until I'm done. So MGS4 was no different. Kojima on a new system, a BD50, and millions of fans eagerly waiting like a family skipping Thanksgiving to sit in line at a Wal-Mart on Black Friday. This game could have gone either way. Kojima can be a genius, but he can also be a total fucking weirdo. So does the game deliver? Yes...and no.

Graphically, its truly a sight to see. I'd have to say that nothing I've seen graphically comes close. From the amount of detail on Sanke's Octo-camo, to the depth of the enviroment and the events happening around you. The more you play, you are constantly amazed by the way something looks, sounds, or what you're doing. I was thinking to myself, "whoa, this is fucking crazy." through so many points in the game. Truly it is totally on a different level when it comes to game production. So is it they best in the series? No. I can say that confidently. The game definately has its moments especially with Snake crawling though the microwave scene. The best part in the game by far, was the final battle with Liquid Ocelot. What makes this scene so great was because it brought all of the MGS music memories back, especially when the "Snake Eater" track came on. While that was awesome, it meant more hearing that tune while CQCing The Boss, then popping a cap in her ass point blank in the middle of the field.
In closing, MGS4 is an excellent game that truly puts an end to the Solid series. It rewards its fans with exactly what we look for in a Metal Game... it just doesn't do it as well as some of its predecessors. In order by rank: MGS3, MGS1, MGS4, MGS2.
