Metal Gear Solid 4 tells a highly entertaining melodrama, as well as making the purest MGS game ever.

The moment fans and Sony have all been waiting for has finally arrived. Solid Snake is back and this time with a crisis in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of Patriots. Solid Snake is infected with a serious disease related to the Big Shell Incident in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty.

I really hate reviewing games like Metal Gear Solid 4. You see, when you review games, you have to consider both the good aspects of the game, and the bad aspects of the game. You see, a game as brilliant as Metal Gear Solid 4, my job for finding faults with it. Curse you, Knoami for making a true gem of a game. Metal Gear Solid 4 is a living and breathing masterpeice of a game, plain and simple.

Metal Gear Solid 4 does so many things right, it well and truly unbelivable. The game resurrects many fans of the series (such as myself) adored. Metal Gear Solid 4 resembles the highly requested invisabilty feature that was previously seen in Metal Gear Solid 3, which is now called Octocamo. You use the PS3's SIX AXIS motion sensing function to change the colour of the Octocamo's usual dark-blue colour to blend within the colour of the background. The fan service in Metal Gear Solid 4 is truly boundless and tremendous, and gives MGS 4 a chunk of depth towards it that PS3 exclusives should learn.

Metal Gear Solid 4 manages to tell a story flooded with depth and a much more dramatic and darker tone than the previous MGS games. This game explores more in Snake's descent into his thoughts and his emotions, rather than the controversy from other characters.

Overall, I will continue to hate reviewing games like Metal Gear Solid 4. It will continue to be so hard to review games as good as MGS 4, because my job gets even harder.
