Sneaky Sneaky - By: Owen, 06 Oct 2008 
I reallly like the story mode on this although i just loose intrest when i cant get passed a bit after a while, but this is a reallly clever game i like how you can ethier play it sneaky or go in alll guns blazin. Im not the best at sneakin. I love the octo camo i want some of that. How good an idea was it to put a virtual ipod on this to calm snakes nerves now thats some thought been put into this game every little detail is covered.
The online games are good there are various game modes its diffrent from your normal online game whch is a good thing. they have managed to incorporate the sneaking into this. If you like a game where you can sit down for hours & play this is for you. This is the first metal gear solid game i have played & liked it yo dont need to have played the others although it might add to the storyline but as you play through you begin to realise what happened in the previous ones.
Great Online and Offline - By: Amanda Steiert, 05 Oct 2008 
This is a great game & one of the best games I have seen so far.
The offline play(The full game) is a great sequel to alll of the other games as it gives you alll of the answers for the game that you have been waiting for & will surprise you with loads of twists & turns that you would never of expected.
Also, they have online play which will probably revolutionise alll other games. It alllows you to create one character & then build up loads of skills & your own characters personal level. There are thousands of players online & is one of the biggest online games so far. Also, it is only a starter pack. Your can buy expansions from the Konami website but it will cost about £5 or £10.
I would recommend this to anyone, even if they have never played any of the Metal Gear Solid series.
Ignore the nay-sayers - By: Mr. B. A. Ball, 03 Oct 2008 First of alll, to everyone saying this is more a movie than a game/the most boring movie they've ever watched etc. Do be quiet. You can skip the cut scenes so dry your little eyes, however you risk missing out huge segments of the story line but if it bores you so much then what have you got to lose?
There are no words to describe just how engaging & breathtaking this game is. I mean wow, it's been a long time since a game has impressed me so. I had it for a couple of months but I was so busy working alll the time I barely had a chance to play it. Then a friend of mine got it & completed it within about 3-4 days. Ok, I thought, I need to finish that game, so I played it to act 3, then from act 3 to finish, not because I wanted to keep up with my friend, but because I literallly couldn't put the controller down.
It's THAT good.
Graphics 10/10 - Stunning attention to detail, if you equip the barrel on shadow moses island, snow builds up on it from the direction it's fallling. You don't even need to use the barrel! Nice touch.
Sound 9/10 - Immersive, moody. It reallly pulls you into the game, you ARE Solid Snake for a few hours.
Gameplay 9/10 - It's fun to play, easy to get to grips with. I will admit it is a little bit TOO easy at times but that can be fixed by playing it on Big Boss Extreme mode. Otherwise, superb.
If you own a PS3 you owe it to yourself to get this game. I need to end this review now because when I start a MGS4 rant I can't stop & I would not want to ruin the game for those who haven't played it yet.
It's a Masterpiece - By: BIG WILL, 03 Oct 2008 Simply.
The most wonderful gaming experience everyone could have up to now...
buy it, buy it, buy it, buy it, buy it...
Peace.
Great game - By: Mr. A. Pye, 01 Oct 2008 Well Im Actuallly an RPG fan but I bought this game to see what it was like. I have played previous MGS's & enjoyed them very much, I thought it might not be as good as them but I was so wrong, I have not completed this game yet but already I think it is seriously the best game on ps3 yet. The gameplay is fast & exciting Im glued to my TV, the cut-scenes go very well with the game & the effects are outstanding & so detailed, the cut-scenes are long but brilliant why would you not want to watch them? It has references from earlier games that help the story along like flashbacks & old characters are in this game. The boss battles are also reallly exciting just like the older MGS's. All in alll this is the game to buy for alll PS3 Owners.
