Courage is SOLID with Metal Gear Solid IV

Ore: 16:31 - Tags: General, PS3

Today I am going to give you gamer geeks out there a first taste of MGS4: Guns of the Patriots. 

As everyone in the gaming community should know MGS4 is a Stealth Action Game produced by Kojima Studios (Konami).  The goal is to infiltrate from point A to B without alerting the enemies.  Though the game is a total different genre to other stealth video games such as Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cellâ„¢ and if anyone could remember the flop Boktai for the GBA. (British Weather is the bliss)  MGS4 pitted you against supernatural foes and left you in heat rash from the epic storyline.

This is the 6th sequel to the series and the finale to the Protagonist, Solid Snake (voiced by David Hayter) to end the world of unlimited war!  The final of the series now places you in the midst of the battlefield - and now its officially stated “there is no place to hide”.  Featuring five battlefield locations including Shadow Moses Island from the 3rd game in the series. (Please note MGS is the 3rd title after Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake)  Where you must find his arch cloned brother Liquid Snake (now known as Liquid Ocelot) and eliminate him!

So far I have only seen game demo’s of the story gameplay and for the fifteen minutes of wasted life I was left speechless.  The game’s WOW factor is off the Richter scale and if anyone said this game is pants there must be something psychological wrong in that head of yours!

New features such as the Octocamo Sneaking Suit has made stealth gameplay alot more “context sensitive” which has improved from its predecessor MGS3.  New weapons such as the awesome P90 sub machine gun and the Javelin Missile Launcher! (Stingers are old news!)  And improved camera and combat system.

But I think the excitement is over for now I dont really want to spoil the extras since there is so much.

Keep a lookout for my first review on MGS4!
