‘Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance’ Review | Analog Addiction

Analog Addiction writes: "When there is a video game franchise as big as Metal Gear, it is understandable for die-hard fans to worry when the franchises’ core gameplay pulls a 180.

While my feelings did not escalate to a hell-fire-and-brimstone rage, I certainly worried when I first saw Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (back when it was known as Metal Gear Solid: Rising). I loved series veteran Raiden by the time Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots’ (MGS4) story concluded, but when I saw this spin-off title transformed into a hack-and-slash rather than stealth, it left a sour taste in my hopes for the game." 7.7/10
