SynopsisExperience the final chapter in the Solid Snake saga with Metal Gear Solid 4. Travel around with world with Solid Snake to locations in South America, the Middle East and other dangerous areas. As he hunts down archnemesis Liquid Ocelot, Snake's packing the deadliest weapons and touting the most impressive abilities of his career. See if he can enter enemy territory undetected amidst the chaos of battle. Should Snake fail in his final mission, civilization will pay a terrible price: world domination.Combine stealth, strategy and combat to achieve your goals. Know when to aid local militia in the fight and when to let the battle rage on so you can use the chaos as cover. As you infiltrate enemy territory, don the OctoCamo stealth suit to match seamlessly with your environments. You can also rely on your contact, Otacon, to give you the new Mk. II reconnaissance tool as well as the Solid Eye, which provides vital stats on enemies and your surroundings. Visit Drebin on the black market and trade for bigger, badder weapons. The more you trade, the more custom weapons and modifications you'll unlock. Once you have the firepower, feel free to unleash it on waves of invading PMC soldiers.

Not Kojima's best

I've been playing this series since MGS1 on he PS1. The definitive one to me is still MGS3. It's story was nowhere near as convoluted, it had much better pacing, and the cold war era theme just worked for me.
MGS4 obviously raises the bar fro graphics with the newest iteration, as well as upping the fun you can have with a streamlined control scheme. It still gets so bogged down in it's own universe, though. Everything Kojima needs to wrap up to make up for all the loose ends he had left in the previous games, make you feel like your on a ride that could lead anywhere. Unfortunately, he tends to steer you ( in my opinion) to uneventful happenings and explanations, with characters you thought you were going to have a lot more fun with.
I won't spoil the encounters here for you, but not one of the old allies or enemies left me feeling nastalgic.
What's great about it: Graphics, tighter gameplay, immersion with choices
What's not so great: terrible pacing, with a pretty bad story
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good, but not great

This game hits the sweet spot for tactical shooting, but falls short in other key areas. Single player and co-op story game play are done well enough, but the story itself has left a lot to be desired. Never feeling like it brings closure to the first game, and shallow when it comes right down to it.
The game play has been tweaked, with modifications to your character that give you a sense of ownership, along with some new weaponry. Glitches have been remedied in story and T hunt for the most part, but the niggling little errors manage to come up every now and then. A little more time in the oven could have made this feel like more than an expansion pack, but for what it gets right...man is it worth it. Visceral, tactical urban combat, baby!
What's great about it: Improved mechanics
What's not so great: Roughly the same as #1, with a slightly worse story
