Metal Gear Solid 4


Metal Gear Solid 4 is what some people would typically think of if they thought of a modern video game. A gritty, violent shooter. Although what this shooter specializes in is stealth combat, which basically see's you moving through your enemies stealthily without them having to see you or hear you. If they see you then they begin shooting at you until you go back into stealth mode. That doesn't mean there isn't some straight up out in the open shooting. Another thing that seperates this game from other shooters are the cutscenes. A cinematic sequence which helps further the story without giving the player direct control. The cutscenes in this game are up to 1 1/2 hours long. Most game cutscenes are 1, 2, or up to 5 minutes long, but this game really takes it to the extreme. Overall this game is great fun, it has an absolutely crazy, over the top story and the cutscenes are great, but sometimes they do get boring. I would get the games a 9.7 out of 1o.
