Its a very glossy, well produced and well written 9.1 :) Story, Visuals, Audio are all 10's...but gameplay is king...and there are still issues galore with controls and camera. Also, I am worried that sneaking around is no longer the key aspect to this series... as I'm plowing through everything with machine guns. And if the combat is the main gameplay component...I must say that thus far, it is a second rate Gears/Resident Evil 4 hybrid that doesn't work nearly as well as either. So I'd give gameplay 8 thus far... |
That's the beauty of the game. As mentioned in the GT review "there are many ways to play it [MGS4]".
You can sneak by opponents completely, fight a few then hide and wait for them the forget about you, or simple blaze your way through with a machine gun.
I havent found the controls or camera an issue at all. I actually found the controls for GTA entailed a bigger learning curve then MGS4.
I'm about 5 hours in so far, and loving it.
9.7/10 from me.
