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.
