Category: Action Adventure | Modern
Platform: PlayStation 2
Tech Information: 1 Player.
Publisher: Rockstar Games
Developer: Rockstar North
Release Date: 10/22/2001

Story:
In the not too distant future. On a tired battlefield. War has become routine. War has changed. It's no longer about nations, ideologies, or ethnicity. It's an endless series of proxy battles fought by mercenaries and machines. War - and its consumption of life - has become a well-oiled machine.

The nanomachine system that PMCs use is called "Sons of the Patriots" or "SOP". The five largest of these PMCs (Praying Mantis, Otselotovaya Khvatka, Werewolf, Pieuvre Armement and Raven Sword) are owned by a single mother company named Outer Heaven, operated by Liquid Ocelot. Amassing an army whose manpower rivals that of the United States, Liquid prepares to launch an armed insurrection by taking control of SOP. With the world once again in crisis, a rapidly aging and disillusioned Snake (now known as Old Snake) is deployed into the Middle East by Roy Campbell to terminate Liquid once and for all.

Gameplay:
In Metal Gear Solid 4, the player (Old Snake) must navigate the game world in order to progress, using stealth and cunning in addition to traditional combat. It uses third person view with full camera manipulation, but also allows the freedom to play in first-person mode, as well as an over the shoulder view which can be switched from right shoulder to left for corner maneuvering. The Close Quarters Combat system has been completely revamped.

Several elements from previous titles return in modified forms. Which include the camouflage system featured in Metal Gear Solid 3 but this time round its called OctoCamo. The OctoCamo suit allows the wearer to blend in with any surface within a few seconds. A new monocular device called "Solid Eye" replaces the various binoculars and image intensifiers from previous titles, and a steel drum complements the series' traditional cardboard box disguise. It is able to deflect bullets, and can be rolled to knock enemy soldiers over, but can lead to Snake being sick should the player roll around excessively.

Other than this, Snake has the Metal Gear Mk. II/III, which allows him to communicate with other characters, in addition to the CODEC radio system from previous games. With the Mk. II/III, Snake can make use of it to knock out enemies using a weak electric shock from it. The game will be filled with flashback, allowing players to know more if they havent touch on the previous serious. Players also have the choice of watching the Mission Briefing cut scenes from predetermined camera angles or exploring them with the Metal Gear Mk. II/III.

Sound:
The score to Metal Gear Solid 4 was led by Harry Gregson-Williams, his third Metal Gear Solid soundtrack, and Nobuko Toda, who provided music for Metal Gear Acid and Metal Gear Acid 2. Directed by Norihiko Hibino, GEM Impact employees Yoshitaka Suzuki and Takahiro Izutani also made compositions late in the game's production. Other contributors are Konami employees Shuichi Kobori, Kazuma Jinnouchi, Akihiro Honda, and Sota Fujimori.

There are two vocal themes for the game. The opening theme, "Love Theme", is sung by Jackie Presti and composed by Nobuko Toda. The ending theme, "Here's To You", is sung by Lisbeth Scott. The official soundtrack was released on May 28, 2008 by Konami Digital Entertainment. It consists of two discs of music and 47 tracks. A soundtrack album was also packaged with Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Limited Edition.

Artistic Elements:
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is the most technically stunning video game ever made. In fact it can be only be on the Playstation 3 due to the extremely high quality and the processing. Metal Gear Solid 4 has completely covered the graphical area to an extent where even the smallest detail can be spotted from tiny dust that shroud your camera lenses to the clear stilled water that the game offer in the environment.

Replay Value:
This is a must Re-PLAY game for the Playstation 3. There are just too many reasons why you should replay Metal Gear Solid 4. Whether it’s to listen again the awe-struck soundtrack, or to relive the unbelievable beautiful cutscenes. Or just simply play to complete the game to obtain “secret” items or to unlock the hardest to get emblems at the end of the game.

Value:
Metal Gear Solid 4 is a game definitely worth buying; it is the game that defines how well the Playstation 3 specs can perform compared to the Xbox 360. MGS4 sold 476,334 copies in its first four days on sale in Japan, which includes copies bundled with the PlayStation 3, and caused a boost in PlayStation 3 sales. The PS3, which usually sells nearly 10,000 units in a given week, went on to sell 77,208 units in MGS4's debut week.

Overall:
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is a must play game for all Playstation 3 owners. It is definitely the game of the year to a lot of gamers out there. With a storyline so superb and the finale of the plot in the Metal Gear series it is again a definitely MUST-PLAY. As Hideo Kojima said it is a game as a movie, a movie as a game and he proved it with grace.
