Consequently, having made a review for MGS3 it would be mean of me not to make a review for the MGS4 Sons of the Patriots. Although I am not sure if this would do justice to the title but here goes.
The story is set five years after the events of MGS2. The world is in chaos with PMC's (Private military companies) running about in different soils engaging in armed conflict and struggling for dominance. Solid Snake is once again sent out to carry the burden of stopping his brother Liquid, Liquid Snake, from tearing the whole world apart with chaos and death. The whole story takes you into the middle east, South America and Eastern Europe and ultimately to where it all began, Shadow Moses Island. Intense action, twisting conspiracies, love stories and humor fit perfectly in this last installment of this title. This time enemies are much sensitive about what's happening around their environment. Enemies are ruthless and gunfights are much more intense. You can grapple, hostage, slit their throats, choke them or simply put a gun in their heads to make them more compliant with your demands (in this case to not kill you). It is a lawless world in which your decisions could make it easier or a lot tougher for you. Also there are a lot of familiar faces in this title such as Solid Snake's friend, Otacon(from MGS1 and 2) and Raiden( who is uber cool now btw) . As to who are the others I leave that to myself. This is where the story shed light to what happened after the events that took place in the 60's cold war era from MGS3 to the present. It is a game which feels more like a movie in which you are a part of. It will take your breath away and leave you asking for more of the same. The usual stuff are there such as top class voice acting, Oscar worthy story and nostalgic and new soundtracks. The thing that makes me love this game is that they have tweaked the controls in which hostaging and shooting or moving about it a lot less taxing. Graphics are superb, you won't know the difference of a cut scene to the actual game until the ai tries to shoot you. Although cut scenes are somewhat longer it is perfect for the game as it reveals how everything falls into place. For the avid fans, the final boss fight is very nostalgic and will give you a sense of closure after you beat the game. For the new gamers, be ready to be converted into fans of the title. Avid fans of the series and new gamers alike would be left in awe.
Over all this last part of the series will leave you in a standing ovation with a little drool on the corner of your mouth. In a score of 1 to 10 I must not lie and give it what it deserves... an eleven.
