Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, is a next-gen experience complete with top-of-the-line graphics and surround sound designed for the Sony PlayStation 3. Featuring the most revealing display of Kojima Production's premier title, MSG4 details the world where Snake must under go his final mission. In a world overrun by private military companies (PMCs), wars are no longer fought over nations or ideologies. Instead, the wars of the future are micro-managed by overarching PMCs, right down to the bullet. New gadgets and abilities fuel Snake's journey deep into the enemy domains of the Middle East, South America, and beyond. New gear includes "Metal Gear Mk. II," the ultimate reconnaissance tool, and "Solid Eye," which gives Snake real-time information on enemies and his surroundings. Joined by a familiar cast of characters, Snake must once again return to the battlefield to confront his lifelong rival, Liquid Ocelot, who is manipulating the world's wars from the one world where soldiers will always have a place. But Liquid Ocelot is not the only one who will be able to manipulate the world's wars--Snake can destabilize opposing forces by working behind the scenes, supporting the local militia as they fight PMCs, creating a smokescreen that allows Snake to move freely within the war-zone.
MGS4 is a next-generation adventure set in the aftermath of MGS2: Sons of Liberty. The concept behind the latest Metal Gear Solid project is "no place to hide," and this edition in the series will force Snake into unexpected circumstances with an all-new storyline that breaks away in some ways from the previous MGS franchise entries. We don't want to spoil it for you, but, producer Hideo Kojima did reveal some very juicy tidbits about the game and the storyline when it was first announced at E3 of 2006. "Until now," said Kojima, "we've released two entries of the MSX2 Metal Gear series, and three entries in the Metal Gear Solid series. Add to this Portable Ops, and you get a total of six titles. All mysteries will be cleared up in Metal Gear Solid 4."
Kojima was very clear about the finality of MSG4, leaving gamers to wonder, "Will Snake die?!" When asked if the story will come to this sort of an end, Kojima responded without the slightest bit of vagueness, "It will come to an end." The MGS4 E3 trailer showed a number of characters from the Metal Gear and Metal Gear Solid histories. This final installment is sure to deliver loads of cameos, in fact, it is rumored that nearly all the characters from the series will make an appearance.
In addition to a return of classic Metal Gear Solid characters, the gameplay systems from part three are also expected to make a comeback. The camouflage system from part three will make it into MGS4, with the addition of "OctoCamo," Snake's most advanced stealth suit to date. The name appears to be formed from the words "Octopus" and "camoflauge," and players will be awestruck by the chameleon-like camo that changes with the surroundings. OctoCamo allows Snake to blend in with his environment as it digitally manifests nearby textures in real time. Think if it this way, if Snake is standing next to a wall worn out with holes, he too will appear to be riddled with holes. It has also been revealed that MGS4 will have online play, but no specifics have been released. Although very little information is known about the game's visuals, rumor has it that MGS4 is expected to be the finest representation of console graphics on the PS3, and it is expected that they will just get better and better as the game nears its release date.

As for the game, it's considered the worst in the series(besides Metal Gear: Survive) and heavily encourages gun-play over stealth, unlike every other games in the series. The plot was really shoehorned in, and the game was considered a mistake by Kojima, the creator.
However, it is not terrible if you're a fan and want to play through the entire series. It does have some important plot, as well as some that doesn't make sense.
Now, I am not the type of gamer who generally plays FPS's (which I don't quite consider this an FPS anyway---this is more RPG than anything!!!) I know there are a lot of complaints here about long cut scenes, etc...but enjoy them, it gives your hands a rest for a moment so you can catch up on the story line---I know some of them ARE long, but NONE OF THEM are an hour. They are important for character development and for keeping you up to date within the context of the story, and especially if you didn't play all the games (or watch someone play them) previously---you need this information to understand, and you get points (pushing the X button for flashbacks) to boot! Anyone who is attached to the characters of Snake, Boss, Ocelot, etc...these cut scenes are integral to understanding the whole puzzle!!
I gave this game a 5 star rating based on the simple fact that I loved it (and even cried in places) and I'm not even the person who was behind the controller!! Stunned? Don't be. It should speak volumes to anyone who likes the previous games for their content and not just their FPS-like qualities. I was completely captivated in the game play, the story line, the characters. Once again, in MGS style, it answers many questions, and still leaves MANY more for the player to ponder even after they're finished. My husband and I talked throughout the several days he played, trying to figure out who the culprit was, what everyone's true roles were, it was INTOXICATING in a good way.
My role in the experience, was the help him navigate through the game, helping to watch for various clues and mile-markers, helping to keep track of items he'd need, vital signs, etc. It is a unique experience that I hope all of you try it sometime---backseat driving in a good way!!
Yes, the controls are a little different, but isn't the challenge what a real gamer is looking for? You'll eventually get used to it and it becomes a lot more smooth. Octocamo is awesome, and its fun to save some of your own too, so play with it and enjoy it---it isn't as useless as some others have said in their reviews. My husband used it more than any other camo in the game. If you are a patient, sneaking style player, who likes to tranq and frisk, or likes to watch nasty robots explode---enjoy your new toy, it will pay off!!!
I'll end my review there, because (as I said) I wasn't the player, but I loved MGS3 and I was completely sucked in to this as a watcher---can you imagine how my husband felt? I just spent a 48 hour long day (thank gawd for weekends) watching this game and backing up the player---and I was completely enthralled!!!
Buy it, play it a bunch, and anxiously await the next prequel installment with the rest of us.

People will sometimes ask me, what was your favorite gaming experience on the PS1, or the PS2, and now the PS3? Considering that I love me a good story when playing a game such as the Resident Evil series, the Devil May Cry quadrilogy, Splinter Cell, etc. - I obviously always answer with the one that had the biggest impact on me (immersively, emotionally and entertainingly).
For the PS1, it was and always will be Metal Gear Solid. For the PS2, it was and always will be Metal Gear Solid 3 - Snake Eater. And for the PS3... As of this review - for me personally, nothing beats Metal Gear Solid 4 - Guns of the Patriots.
Words cannot describe how utterly awesome this game is. You have to experience it for yourself. However, if you do choose to pick it up, I highly recommend that you play either Metal Gear Solid 1, 2 and 3 first - or - Metal Gear Solid 3, 1 and 2 in that order. This way, you'll be able to understand much more of the game ranging from certain plot points to characters and so forth.
I will not spoil it, but if you do play the first 3 parts and then number 4 - by the end of the game you'll probably be in tears. Not because of the incredibly long cut scenes, but because how powerful the story, the music, the voice acting and the immersiveness of the game is (not to mention the beautiful graphics which run at 1080p - even by 2011 standards).
Long story short, If you like your video games to have a good storyline and you don't mind long cutscenes (to properly further the story of the game), you NEED to get this game.
I bought it when it was $69.99 and feel it was worth every penny. Now you can get it for $10-$20 online.
Cheers :-)
Obra maestra de la programación y del genio de H. kojima.
Compré la guía de lujo hace unos años por coleccionismo....Ahora luce como nunca junto al juego original.
Horas de entretenimiento por delante.
¡100% Recomendable!
