About the game: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_Gear_Solid_4:_Guns_of_the_Patriots


PROS
+amazing visuals
+superb voice acting
+haunting music
+mind shattering story
+fun gameplay
+lots of content (inc. online multiplayer)
+EPIC
+it made me cry many times

CONS
-very long cutscenes
-uneven framerate
-hard to shoot guns when in sticky cover
-you have to play the previous metal gear games to fully grasp the plot
-the metal gear database should have been integrated to the game instead of downloading it separately as a different game.
-no option to rewatch cutscenes in a theatre mode except loading saved games.
-no psn trophies
-end of an amazing saga

OVERALL
     This is the finale for legendary war hero Solid Snake and 25 years of Metal Gear. It answered all of the questions and tied all loose ends. The game is packed with so much content that you won't feel cheated by your purchase. This game is a masterpiece that would be remembered for years to come. Newcomers to the series may have a hard time feeling emotional and liking the game like those who have played the previous entries to the series, but nonetheless for the fans it is the ultimate parting gift. But fear not newcomers, there's the upcoming Metal Gear collection that contains five of the 8 games of the metal gear saga in one bundle. Play that and you'll feel what we felt. Those who desire more gameplay than story may be disappointed as Metal Gear is famous for its long cutscenes and story centric nature. But when its time to pick up the controller, I assure you the gameplay doesn't dissapoint.
