Game Review: Metal Gear Solid 4 (PS3)

Snake is back, and in full 1080p High Definition (HD) resolution no less! Only available on the PS3, this game continues the story of Solid Snake. With its engrossing plot, superb looking graphics and smooth game physics any fan of the previous instalments will have to own this.

At times controlling Snake is a complete joy. Hiding behind walls and knocking on them to distract guards never fails to amuse. And with an array of futuristic weapons at your fingers tips you cannot help being compelled to continue through the game.

My only criticism is that the cut scenes are sometimes needlessly long and self indulgent. It can feel more like a movie than a video game. Having a save point half way through a cut scene will give you an idea to the length of some cut scenes. Excellent game, but prepare yourself for long periods of inactivity.

8/10
