Amazing!!!!!

TroyMc from from Eastbourne, 10th April, 2008

This is to be the finally to the incredible series that is Metal Gear and Metal Gear 4 is no exception to the rule and does not disappoint, new and brilliant features include; - Adaptive camouflage (your camo suit or , OctoCamo, now has the ability to adapt it's self to your surrounding environment e.g. stand next to a wallpapered wall and your camo turns that pattern sweet!) - The formidable CQC of Metal Gear has been improved and has introduced new chokes, hold up techniques ext. - The Solid Eye is a new piece of equipment added to Snakes arsenal (it as any hard core Metal Gear fan knows is there so replace his eye that Ocelot shot out) this Solid Eye Patch scans the battle field in any way with thermal vision, night vision and binoculars. - Interactive environment e.g. you can clime in Dust bins or clime in an oil drum (oil drum replaces the concept of the card board box e.g. get in it walk around, sneak up on enemies and now even roll it at enemies with you inside like a human bowling ball Ober Sweet) - All this along with a huge new amount of weapons, gadgets, environments and enemies Brief story line: Snake’s bionic clock is running out and he has been given one last mission to assassinate Liquid Ocelot will he finish his mission before it to late we will have to wait and see!?

Major Disappointment, Snore.

A Customer from North Walsham, Norfolk, 16th November, 2008

I was expecting good things of this game but sadly it was not to be. I think it must be generally accepted that the cut scenes are just way too long, sometimes they just had no connection with what was happening (frying eggs?). The first part is supposed to be a stealth mission basically this means that there is no action for a very long time, you are told to avoid conflict, hours of this is boring and just turns you against the game and the will to continue. Even with his suit in 'stealth' mode snake is still blindingly obvious yet the AI can be right on top of him and not notice, perhaps his suit should have made him more transparent (Crysis on the PC is a great example of how to do it properly). Again it's very boring and you find yourself doing stupid stuff to try and liven it up. Setting off the alarm and then killing large numbers with the stun knife. It really just is so slow to play. Most of the graphics are good and you certainly get every opportunity to look at them but it just wasn't a challenge. Would have been good to just jump into the game straight away with some nice hardcore action not cinematics and hiding.
