Another review by Meristation.

It received a 10/10. http://www.n4g.com/ps3/NewsCom-151134.a … 1#C1141497

And the review says MGS4 runs at 720p native (rumor though).

i dont think one game out of the Metal Gear series deserves a 10. some aspects of the game are too bland for my taste

Ok then, don't play it.

Is anyone else going to try getting through the game without killing anyone? I mean without using any guns in the game to kill anyone except the bosses.

I want to do it but will probably do try doing it on the second time through.

I finished exams too. Now time to get a Job. Although I might be going Notts soon. Everybody is just fucking around

To visit sum m8z

I usually look for the easiest option. If there's only one guard in the area it's easiest to just take him out and run through. If there's loads of guards with a set pattern and shit, and it's hard to shoot and hide bodies, logic says you should just sneak through instead of causing a bother. 

Although this game is different, I know that I'm gonna be trying hard not to get seen and then out of nowhere a big battle starts, and then those fucking walking things come and insta kill everything

I always take the shoot everything that moves approach, wasn't the best for mgs3 when u had to spend ages walking along that river full of ghosts though.

haha, I used to do the exact same thing.

I loved it when you did play it like a stealth person, so I am determined to do that on the new one. You get a sense of achievement when you break a guys neck

Funniest was knocking them down and then aiming quickly in 1st person saying 'Freeze!' then they'd start shaking and give you stuff lol.

meh
ill try to buy it along with BC or far cry 2 during the summer

Well I jus read an online review from gamesradar, and as I said, the long cutscenes do hinder the gameplay

Sadly, after South America, the game ceases to flow, and instead becomes a staccato showreel of bite-sized gameplay chunks, glued together by mammoth cut-scenes. The components are impeccable – and the game does return to relatively seamless action – but the disconnection is somewhat jarring. You end up shunted between locations and gameplay styles in a fashion that betrays everything the epic five-minute ladder climb in MGS3 set out to achieve in terms of pacing, continuity and scale.

The S.America section ends a third of the way through the game

MGS4, as ever, is mired in huge cut-scenes – you can skip or fast-forward them, but that's missing the point. You want to know what's going on, but don't want to endure clumsy scripting, or needless exposition. MGS4 could be hours shorter, and be considerably better for it. While we adore Kojima's unflinching vision, and attention to detail, if someone had bravely asked him to edit more carefully, we wouldn't be talking about MGS4 as a contentious masterpiece, but the greatest game ever.

the story sporadically leaves you reeling, or hanging on every word. The frustration – and it bites harder given the breathless pace of earlier scenes – is that all the brilliant gameplay, plotting, philosophy and detail gets swamped in the 'noise' of unnecessary content.

The overall view is that it is a great game, but with unnecessary flaws. Got 9/10

Sorry for the revive but I just finished the game last night and I have to say it's epic

I wonder if there'll be another one judging by the twist added at the end.
