It exceeded my expectations... and that happened within the first 10-15 minutes of playing it.

Clearly, MGS4 is the game to own if you have a PS3. No doubt in my mind.

Unless you're a fast paced game type player then you'll find yourself complaining about the game for no reason just because you overlook what makes this game great and it isn't your style

How would you (anyone who's played it) rate it out of 10?

I've been watching various pieces of gameplay footage on YT today and it looks pretty impressive. Much of my time was spent laughing as I see a cardboard box moving around on MGS Online. (Expansion out today also)

Since Splinter Cell is going to be 360 exclusive and I've had a craving for a stealth game for a while now, MGS4 seems to be my only option. Since it's also in a sale, now would be a good time and I'm tired of seeing it on my rental list and it not getting sent!

Personally, I look at Splinter Cell as a cheap knock off to MGS. The game play isn't really all that exciting, the storylines are kind of dull, and Sam is walking around with three bright ass green lights on his head from his night vision that no one can see... EVER! Since when did night vision goggles have green lights glowing bright as hell on the outside of the goggles?

Me? I'd give it a 9.9 without hesitation... it's the closest "perfect 10" game that I have ever played.

Well I bought it earlier today but fell asleep while it was installing.

Once I finally did get round to playing it, I just went into the firing range so I don't get instantly owned in the story mode. I've also gone on MGO to get that setup, I am currently waiting for the new update to download, then I will be creating my character before going back and starting single player.

So far the graphics seem to be amazing as do the physics. Can't really rate it until I get into it a bit more, but I think I'm going to like it!

Also, thanks to those who told me to get it in the poll I put up a while ago.

The graphics on the single player mode will blow you away but if you're running it on a non HD screen, then it will just be pretty impressive.

The game tends to be somewhat easy, especially when you go on killing sprees, but do yourself a favor and you'll enjoy the game even more, on your first run through, play on Big Boss Hard and try to kill the least amount of enemies as possible. If this is your first time playing any MGS game then that might be difficult because you don't know how to game generally works but give it a shot. It's like that satisfaction you get when you beat a game you really like without cheating and ruining it using a strategy guide.

SPOILER









I just started the part where that big octopus thing (like on Spiderman) is ripping people apart, now I am navigating to my next objective. I tend to use the "sleeping dart" gun on enemies and then kill them with the knife. I haven't go into many huge firefights yet because I am trying to keep with the stealth side of the game.

Just one question though, how do I used the electric shock ability of the knife? I've read the manual and just can't do it.

R2. Same goes for any attachments like grenade launchers or shotguns on assault rifles.

Same here... but if they're PMC guys that I tranquilize, I just usually move them out of sight and go on my way.

Wouldn't want to upset Otacon now...
