Look At Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns Of The Patriots

Spoilers

I went over to my gaming friend Brandon's house today I wanted to talk to him about Metal Gear Solid 4 before I made my review about the game. We both love Metal Gear Solid series and we both had opinions about the game.

We both thought that Metal Gear Solid 4 was a really good game with some likes and dislikes about the game. But despite all of it we still both find Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater is still the best of the Metal Gear Solid series.

Things we liked:

- We both liked some of the guns that are unlocked in the game such as Solar gun that is from Lunar Knights, or the gun that causes a typhoon.

-As well as how challenging the Gekko are

-The Beauty And The Beast unit back stories were something that we found really disturbing, showing that human minds are very fragile and war trauma is something that effects everyone.

- Fighting the FROGS with Rat Patrol was one of the best fights despite it being hard

-The Microwave hallway scenario was a very traumatic scene that left both of us in shock cheering for Snake

-All of Shadow Moses was the most awesome stage, it both made us want to play Metal Gear Solid again (As the saying goes what started here, ends here.)

- Using Metal Gear Rex to fight Metal Gear Ray using robotic CQC

-Raiden sacrificing himself to stop the boat so Snake wouldn't get crushed

-The Motorcycle scene with Big Mama

-The final boss fight against Liquid showing all four Metal Gear Solid games with their own music and life bar as well as Liquids name changing to fit the game. It's like a time compression so you know that this is truly the end of the whole series.

-The cameo appearance of Phsyco Mantis trying to do his mystic old school tricks that end up failing

-Liked how you can kill Meryl, Johnathan, Ed, or Johnny battling the frogs and it's their life that flashes before their eyes. Kill Johnny or Meryl to preview Metal Gear Solid clips too including Meryls ending and Johnny naked.

Things we didn't like:

-Despite me agreeing as well as disagreeing Brandon feels that Snake should have shot himself at the end, giving the ultimate sacrifice to protect everyone lives, a very selfless act. As much as I agree with it there is the part of me that feels that end where Snake gives up smoking. As if he no longer has a death wish and has a appreciation for his life.

-There should have been more Codec contacts instead of only two, including one for saves

-There also should have been more funnier codec conversations

-We felt that the Octocamo was too big of an advantage in the field

-We think that Raiden should have died at the boat. It would a lot more dramatic that way.

-They should have made it so you can explore all of Shadow Moses instead of just a couple of areas

-We think that Big Boss should have remained dead

-If Big Boss had to come back he shouldn't take so long to die

-There was a couple of loop holes in the game that are from Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons of Liberty that they didn't explain.

-They made Johnny too cool that there is a big fanbase of him now

-The boss battles were too easy if you hide under a bed or tank

-There shouldn't be a physic gauge, should been stamina

-Some of the movie sequences were too long

Things we think they should have added:

-During the briefings when you can go around as the MKII we would have liked it when you taser of the people talking it would disrupt their conversation for a brief second. Instead of only the chickens.

-A zoom function for the MKII

-A new Metal Gear, it's tradition (No Gekko don't count)

-An explanation for that green liquid that the Gekko release

When I first saw movies and pictures of the game, I thought that throughout the whole game you can run into Gekko. As well as Beauty and the Beast unit but the main point was to avoid them. You could fight if you want to but you either would die or if you had enough ammo and guns you can actually kill them and don't have to go into battle later on just like they did with The End in Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater.

There would probably be a new Metal Gear series comes out, it's just the end of Metal Gear Solid and it probably will be called something else. The only difference is that Hideo Kojima will not be participating in the creating of the game. He did this last one not only because of the death threats but we wanted to help his co workers feel more assured that they are capable of caring on the series without him. But this is just what the DVD of Metal Gear Solid told.

This is a game that you should play for so many reasons, it probably wont be as fulfilling if you haven't played a Metal Gear Solid game before but none the less it's something you will enjoy.
