I bought a PS3 for MGS4
So what will probably be the biggest game for the Playstation 3 game out a couple weeks ago in Metal Gear Solid 4. I have been holding off on buying a Playstation 3 for sometime now, but due to Walmart giving $100 gift cards with the purchase of a 40 GB PS3, I decided to pull the trigger and get a PS3 right before MGS4 came out.
I did the midnight sale for MGS4 at the Bellevue Best Buy and was shocked of how many people were in line. I figured PS3 exclusive there would be 60 or 70 people show up. 100 would have shocked me, but there probably was 200 people that showed up that night. I stuck around talked games with some people, got my copy and went home. Only to then have to install the game, which sucks. At least I didn’t have to do a firmware update.
So the game is straight up Metal Gear. The humor, the weapons, the story. It is all there. The cinematics are amazing. They are in such a different leauge it isn’t even funny. Truely amazing work done by the team at Kojima Productions when it comes to the cinematics in the game. The gameplay is alright. I just played the game Rambo style not concerning myself with saving ammo or sneaking around. It made it pretty fun just to blow stuff up. I won’t spoil anything in the game, because I do think that people should play through it. I ended up beating it in 18 hours or so. So most people could probably finish it in a long weekend.
