Spectacular in every way. This is one of the greatest games of all time. A masterpiece to behold!

10/10
-Graphics: Beautiful. Incredible. Visually breathtaking. Without a doubt, one of the best looking games ever made. Superb camera angles.
10/10
-Sound: An amazing and eerie soundtrack, spectacular sound design with sound effects, and powerful voice acting make this title even more amazing. Snake's voice has never sounded so awesome.
10/10
-Gameplay: The new gameplay mechanics aside, this game took everything from the previous games and made it that much better (and that's saying a lot since the game mechanics were already really good). With so many different styles of play, you will be wanting to play this game over and over again. Metal Gear Online is also really fun and a nice addition.
10/10
-Lasting Appeal: There are lots of secrets to find and tons of ways to tackle every combat situation. Metal Gear Online should keep you busy for a long time to come after you're done beating the story mode for the eighteenth time.
10/10
Usually my reviews are much more in-depth, but I believe you owe it to yourself to experience this title on your own. Words alone cannot express the true story telling power and technical awe of Metal Gear Solid 4. The single player is lengthy at about 15-20 hours the first time through, and Metal Gear Online will keep you busy for some time. You owe it to yourself. Go out and rent or buy this game now. It's easily the one of the greatest games of all time. Period.
