Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Review - Xbox Reviewer

For a developer to completely change the foundations of a fan favourite gaming franchise is a task that should never be taken lightly, with fears that it might swiftly bite them in their metaphorical arses. That being said, Konami are clearly happy to give the middle finger to my previous notion, taking the Metal Gear name, previously known for its reconnaissance and stealth gameplay and opting for a game filled with ferocious sword play and well, lack of any kind of stealth. Change can often be seen as a bad thing, and while in recent memory that could easily be thought of as fact, when it comes to Platinum Game’s Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, change is mostly a good thing.

This review was just mehh. I'm sure he was joking when he said he didn't know if raiden was a female. In the opening paragraph he talks about the game hardly having stealth then goes on to say you have 2 options to approach combat. The other problem is his inability to grasp the defense system. Its not such a big deal that the game doesn't have a block button its designed that way to force you to think.

I agree that the camera in this game can be downright horrible. There was barely a mention of the games story, or the length of the game, or the replayability, or the vr missions. Over all the review was just OK.

Cacabunga164d ago

I think all PS3 games are still looking good to this day!
God of War Ascension, Uncharted 3, Killzone 3, LBP, Beyond 2 souls, Sly thieves in Time.. other day i played Start The Party.. unbeatable fun

Profchaos163d ago

I think all of those games got remastered which really makes them forgettable on the base PS3 as everyone always jumps to the PS4 iteration

DarXyde163d ago

It's not a comprehensive list.

Moegooner164d ago (Edited 164d ago )

Whoever prepared this. Thanks for writing something meaningful for a change instead of the clickbait crap others do.

Ridge Racer 6 on the Xbox 360 played a lot better than Ridge Racer 7 on the PlayStation 3, which included Ridge Racer 6 tracks. Ridge Racer 6 was the last quality game in the series.

CosmicTurtle163d ago

Both are good games, RR6 looks very slightly better, but this post is not about that.

Inverno164d ago

Another PS3 list another me mentioning 3D Dot Game Heroes

Redgrave164d ago

Yes, this deserves a re-release. I am surprised it hasn't been brought forth again.

StoneTitan163d ago

Must have sold pretty bad. I thought iz looked great but really did not like it

FIELDMARSHALL_P163d ago

@stonetitan it was like a love letter to the original legend of Zelda. I get it probably wasn't for everyone but it's a great game.

FIELDMARSHALL_P163d ago

Game was overlooked by a lot of people it took me back to the 80's playing the legend of Zelda on the gold cartridge for the first time. My kids I their twenties now actually brought it up the other day. I need a ps3 again my last one went out completely. I have so many ps3 games just sitting in a bookshelf. Still got that one up there too. I heard it's worth a lot now or at least was a few years ago, saw some article on it.

Replaying kz2, kz3, r1, r2, r3, kens rage 1 & 2, 3d dot game heroes etc. and they all aged beautifully. Also, playing these games in the hardest difficulty reminded me of how hard games were on the PS3. How I had such a love & hate relationship with these games.

Profchaos163d ago

I'm replaying kz2 on emulator at the moment purely because I want to remap the buttons outside of this it floors me just how good kz2 was on real hardware

Rynxie163d ago

Unfortunately, kz2 crashes for me on rpcs3 around the level where the helghast talks about raditz executing a soldier for poor uniform ethics. When I try and go up the stairs it keeps crashing. I haven't found a workaround yet. Every other game I'm playing works fine though.

Wish they'd do a current gen console release of this. Hopefully on MGS Master Collection Vol. 2!

Venoxn4g231d ago

Revengeance should come to Master Collection

If you consider yourself a sucker for games with good combat systems, these curated recommendations are just for you.

Abnor_Mal301d ago

For me the game with perfect combat was Lord Of The Ring: Shadow of Mordor.
