Not an entirely unexpected review from Eurogamer:

http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=143797

"We love you, Snake. Don't come back."

8/10

That'll put the cat among the pigeons.

BE WARNED: The review contains some minor spoilers.

_{Edit: Dang, typos in the topic title; sorry about that.}

The review points out what I suspected of the game. MGS has always been the marmite franchise, love it or hate it. Unfortunately, I fall in the latter, and MGS2 couldnt convert me.

However I think we finally have a PS3 exclusive game with a review average above 90%.

This guy includes some spoilers in his review, BE WARNED!!!

Anyways, It seems like this review has never been a big fan of MGS in the past. From what I read, he's basically saying that MGS4 has gameplay that has advanced alot from the previous MGS games but hasn't been changed enough for his liking. He also keeps bringing up that he thinks players that have always disliked MGS before will continue to do so. And he concludes with MGS4 including some of the most classic moments in gaming and "exquisite" game elements, and even with that said, he's glad that this is the end of MG.

Oli Welsh's (the reviewer) entire review resume has been MarioKartWii (8/10), Army of Two , a re-review of WOW and Pirates of the burning sea . Based on his source history, he's pretty new at Eurogamer as his articles points to him joining the staff on February of this year.
