For better review, listen to the music:

What do you think, when you think about an old man, fighting againts soilders and robots, saving the world and people? Funny, right? Play the game and you will change your mind.



STORY:
If you want to understand the story completely, I suggest you play previous games, but it's not necessary. You will get an unforgetable experience even without knowing the story. The main character is called Snake. he has to stop his brother Liquid from unleashing his secret weapon. But it doesn't go that easily. The story is mixed with many characters and things, so you almost forgot about your main objective. It offers long, and I mean REALLY LONG cutscene(Even an hour long, no kidding) You don't believe me? Check it for yourself.
You almost watching more cutscenes than playing. The story will maybe sometimes make you feel sad. I confess, I got a tear in my eye.
Interesting add-on is that you can change your camera view during cutscenes. For example, if Snake goes around the corner slowly, you can breath behind his neck or just look through his eyes. Perfect add-on.




GAMEPLAY:
Gameplay is a bit confusing to me, but it's not such a big deal. It bothers me onyl that slow moving, nothing else. Otherwise it has lots of Extra gameplay,which means, that you don't just run and shoot, but you are crawling while bleeding and saving your life by pressing buttons.
Towards the end of the game, you will find a two screen gameplay. First screen will be showing you, the second screen will be showing a cutscene, where you control, what's going on.



GRAPHICS:
Graphics are very good, we can even say perfect. World is nicely built, so you won't need to worth where to hide and taking cover. You will travel through various landscapes. From deserted villages to snowy islands and all in between.
Animations are perfect. Face animation is very good and realistic. The game offers some different suits too. You can choose some other suits, change color or you can change your color suit to wall or floor texture, so enemies can't see you.You can cleary see, that Metal Gear Solid 4 used Playstation 3's true power.


This game is unforgetable and fantastic. It's very long and it has lots of cutscenes, which makes it even better. It really looks like a movie, in which you're jumping inside every few minutes. Story is so emotional, that it will dare you to cry.

Story: 5/5
Gameplay: 4/5
Graphics: 5/5

Overall: 5/5
