Neocrisis writes "Before I even start with this review I'm going to state this clearly. Metal Gear Solid 4 is easily one of if not the best game of all time. Metal Gear Solid 4 is everything Kojima-san promised it would be and proves to be a fantastic ending to one of the most memorable saga's in gaming history.
There is no hiding that Metal Gear Solid 4 is the best looking game of all time. The graphics really must be seen to be believed. There are many times throughout the game in both game play and in cut scenes where the game looks photo realistic. In fact there are many occasions in which the HUD pops up as a cut scene is coming to an end and looks out of place because it looks like you are watching a CGI movie."

JUST JOKING b4 u ps3 fan boys take it personal.....
That thought MGS3 was better? (in terms of its release) i just found it much more appealing and engaging especially the fact that big boss has the biggest balls ever.
I can't argue with that.
I wanted to skip but i couldn't because they do have story there.
Now bring on Killzone 2.
The Graphics and Gameplay were amazing at that time, and I wasn't into watching reviews or previews or anything related to the game before hand.
MGS3 was good too, but they took out the second person camera view. They added that later, but I didn't buy that game Again.
hahah...
of course!
BELIEVE in Teh Power of Teh Cell.
anyway, i hope KP comes around with a trophy patch
there are only 2 games i love and care for trophies
MGS4 and Valkyria Chronicles.
I played through MGS2 again last week and the graphics still are amazing.
I think MGS4 > all the rest in terms of gameplay and acessibility (Even though it was sad to see that there were more parts that required more shooting than sneaking, but you could sneak your way through the entire game if you wanted to.
(which i, for the first few hours thought i HAD to due to the older games being like they were when you were caught)
It would be hard for me to say which was the best, because each game in the main series are like my children, i can't have a favourite - they all have their own merits over each other, which is strange for a game series.
The MGS series is my favourite of all time, so i do agree with the score of the review - i have not read much of the actual review though.
loved it
..and not anymore? hehe...just joking, but even with all the games which came out at the end of the year, MGS4 still stands as the best game of 2008! GTAIV's success was totally overshadowed by the overwhelming MGS4 and I honestly say that it's an experience like no other! but a review after over 7 months is somewhat a 'WTF' moment but it's true that MGS4 is a masterpiece! I think I'm gonna play it again before KZ2 come out!
Dunno...at least they didn't give it a bad score. Now let the haters keep calling it a movie while the rest of us know how great the gameplay is in between the cutscenes (which are great themselves anyway).
Neither of them games are PHOTOREALISTIC, yes they look insanely good but photorealisim, in my opinion goes to GT5:P
http://a.imagehost.org/0182...
However, i'm not saying it looks the best - just for photorealism, i think that goes to GT5, at least in terms of the cars.
Art style, however i think goes to MGS4.
vs
TPS going for it's own style in a realistic setting
vs
FPS going for realism
Why compare? They all did good with what they have to work with.
:)
that has long cut scenes but u guys dont complain about games dont little or no cut scenes at all. This game is trying to tell a story, kojima wanted mgs 4 to end with a bang and if u played mgs 3,1,2 then i mean THEN you can truely appericate the mgs serius for what it is. A master piece
That's kinda... well... they could've at least said ''one of the best looking console games'', but THE best looking? I think Crysis is that game for now and Killzone 2 soon.
Anyway I agree entirely with everything else he said
They were calling MGS1 an interactive movie, they were calling MGS2 an interactive movie, they were calling MGS3 an interactive movie. It is what the series is about, merging two of the biggest forms of entertainment together.
The story development in MGS is just as important as the gameplay imo, i know it may sound silly but there is not one single series game that i love as much as Metal Gear Solid, and that says alot for an "interactive movie".
I don't know about you guys, but I'm preordering mine!
... again, I don't blame the poster, because it's recent news, but the key word in news is "new".
Revewing a game that's been out for six months isn't new, and what they have to say isn't news.
SEVEN months. ;)
Yeah the story and storytelling sucked. Using hours upon hours of cutscenes is not a good way to tell a story.
I am STILL playing this game, picked it up on launch. Just beat it for the 3rd time a few days ago. There are so many different ways to play, so many weapons to unlock and badges to get. And the online is awesome.
I just wish that the badges where trophies. Anyway I am about to start another game on HARD. Wish me luck. And the Big Boss Badge, WTF beat the game with 0 alert fazes. Wow.
I agree 110%.
Then why are Video Games sites reviewing it?
wow
...since it took him so long to get to the review. :p
Copy and pasting a review takes SEVEN MONTHS... -_-"
