Metal Gear Rising is an interesting action title

User Rating: 7 | Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance PS3

In Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance you play as the half human half cyborg Raiden. Raiden is a bad ass character to play as. Slicing up enemies with strings of combo's and alternate weapons keeps things exciting. Fatalities are cool as you use them to collect power that refills your health and other energy. The level designs are okay nothing special or out of the ordinary. The story is all about political power and ... brains.. yes..!! The bosses can be a challenge and are fun to take down. Howeever I can't go without saying that there are def. some let downs here. First of all when you're in blade mode and you're at parts of the game where you have to cut like 2 or 3 squars at once for some reason such an easy task seems to be infuriating and annoying to pull off. Also another problem I had with this game is that I had to keep my thumb on the analog stick that controls the camera because my enemies were ALWAYS behind me. It's a fast paced game so yeah enemies will end up all over but I found myself always having to move the camera.. It's even more annoying for the last boss fight which is very difficult to take down and the added camera annoyance just really get's in the way of precision gaming. Other then that the game is enjoyable cutting up mulitple human enemies and cyborgs. Upgrading your stats and skills are fun too. The game is fairly short but that could be said about a lot of action titles. I would of given Metal Gear Rising and 8/10 if it wasn't for that god forsaken camera....
