Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots review

This is barely a game. It's mostly a long cutscene with some short gameplay in between.

The cutscenes are completely non-interactive and they are not even cohesive. I understand people who love this game find the craziness charming and all... I think if Kojima wasn't a brand in the gaming industry, this game would've scored incredibly low with everyone.

I could be wrong but I feel this is one of those things nobody really gets but the review scores are high and everyone just thinks "It must be just me" and goes along with the crowd.

I would care about the game being half cutscenes, if they weren't that kino!
What little gameplay is there is good. Bring patience
«That ending!»
Strong contender for best game of all time.
«Time-tested»

For me this is the best MGS game. Visuals are from other world. The quality! It's really hard to believe that this game was released 10 years ago. I completed MGS4 at least 3 times. Know every secret and everything. I have never saw better cutscenes (or longer cutscenes too) in a video game. The gameplay is also deep and full of quality.
