The wait for Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is almost over. It has been about three years since the original announcement, yet it feels much longer if you're a dedicated Metal Gear fan. Early reviews have been unanimously positive, though they seem to suggest that the game is the ultimate piece of fan service and not very accessible to those who haven't played a Metal Gear game before. For the readers and writer of this article, that's probably a good thing. I think I'll yank the cord on my DSL later today to prevent inadvertent spoilerage before Thursday.

The final part of our Metal Gear retrospective will start where the first one left off, with a look at Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, and finish up with some pondering about the future of the series.

god i love metal gear.

I saw a video yesturday of MGS4, Raiden was fighting some guy, looked so lame

The AC!D series were most underrated. Really good games and AC!D2 bought some much need changes to the mechanics of the game and made it that much better!

CAnt wait until thursday

I will be picking up my MGS4 PS3 bundle

then i will have to go sit an exam

I can't wait to pick up my copy of MGS4.

I also can't wait to see what Kojima does next, I saw an interview somewhere where he mentioned having ideas for a new style of game, let's hope lightening strikes twice.

Me too! Except I'll have to sit through work until 5pm

At least it's my early finish this week

And on another note, is this a separate Metal Gear Retrospective to the GameTrailers one?
I don't particularly feel like downloading to find out.

GameTrailers' retrospective is much much better than this one (no offence)

It's not really one guy's thoughts on the Metal Gear series..

It walks through the storyline of each metal gear, sort of ties them together.. but i'm still waiting on the 5th installment..

you better not be talking about Raiden vs Vamp, god that looks so mad!

was it a good overview of the story or just a general look? i'm interested in that extra DVD that's suppose to tell the story for newcomers



I guess that's the one, he cuts off the feet of some Metal Gears at the start, it was a bit too slow for me, I kinda expected FF7 AC quickness (well maybe not that quick), not over the top but I was expecting the action to be faster, just felt too slow and drawn out to me, props go to spikes coming out of their shoes and they start dancing on top of each other though disappointment came when neither died from it, that should have been fatal :/[/i]

vamp is invincible..... and oh so lonely.

and raiden has a new badass suit that stops death!
