View of MGS4 from a new PS3 owner, and not so big fan of the series...

[Ail]

Well I'm a Playstation fan but MGS4 is only the second I play in the serie after playing MGS3 when it came out on the PS2.

I have to say the game is blowing me away.
Sometime understanding the details of the stories is a little hard for me as I never played MGS1 or MGS2 but really you get so absorbed in the storie and the gameplay you quickly forget about that and as the game advance you start understanding more and more...

Stuff I really like in particular :
- the cinematics/cut scenes.
- the fact you have several ways to beat every map ( stealth or action).
- The fact that unlike 90% of the games out there, you don't have to wait the last 20% of the game to finally get to play with the coolest weapons. Barely one hour in the game you already have a huge selection of toys to play with and when you thought it coudn't get better, it actually gets better!!!!!

I have to say I enjoyed GTA4 but after playing MGS4, I can't really say GTA4 is in the same league....

MGS4 is really where gaming crosses to movies but still make you feel like you are the one on screen directing the story.

I wish more developers took risks like Konami and gave us others games with such an epic story. I could buy a game like this every month if they would put one out !!!!!!!!!!
