On 1/27/09, Konami added a new, free mode to Metal Gear Online called Bomb Mission. In this mode, the offensive team attempts to detonate a bomb at a targeted location, while the defending team must protect its stronghold and prevent bombs from exploding.

    i've never played another game with so much replayability. I've finished it at least 4 times and haven't uncovered all of it.

    I believe they are :O

    Lol And i have Crysis

    But then, Uncharted 2 blows both of them out of the water

    I find it amusing when he speaks that MGS4 graphics are the best ever....
    ...he certainly never played PC games such as Crysis,a 2007 game that visualy humbles this one.

    this game is a reason to buy the new ps3 slim ive been a long time fan and this game was just excellent

    I've been gaming for some 30 years now, and I rarely ever play through a game more than once. However, with regards to MGS4, I'm on my fourth playthrough and may even go for a fifth. This entire series may be the best I'll ever see in my lifetime. If you've yet to play this game, please give it a shot. I promise you won't regret it.

    I finished this game for the first time last night, brilliant. Why does Hal have to cry all the time though, is there some symbolic reference that justifies his near constant waterworks in Guns of the Patriots and Sons of Liberty or is he just a big blouse?

    i would say all 4 is good but with mgs1 u can imagine playing a ps1 game with outdated controls, graphics, etc

  • djtrauma

    Posted Oct 16, 2009 4:28 pm GMT

    This helps firm up my decision to finally get a PS3. I see this game everywhere for $25 CDN, too (used, of course). Would people say MGS3 is as good as the others, including 4?

    The graphics on this game are mind-blowing. It's just sick how far we've come in the past 10 years.

    troydtroy, wtf!!!!!! this game has amazing graphics you stupid 360 fanboy!!!!! nearly all reviewers gave this game a 10/10 in the graphics department, and this game destroys any game on the 360 graphically, so go look at gears of war or something

    best game ever? ya right

  • thetravman

    Posted Sep 26, 2009 10:34 pm GMT

    I wouldn't say 10, because the gameplay isn't perfect (however everything else is).

    Posted Sep 24, 2009 7:43 am GMT

    this game is awesome alot of cinematic scenes but im surprised how they hold this huge game on 1 disc unlike that halo odst game that came with 2 separate disc on my 360 how pathetic, definitely might sell my xbox360 hahahaha

    Great review. I've played this game 7 times already. It's so amazing and has superb graphics and gameplay. Every PS3 owner should play this game.

  • Jamarie

    Posted Sep 17, 2009 7:00 pm GMT

    This is simply the BEST GAME EVER!!! No games can beat it!!! It will take like another decade for a game to beat it lol!!! This masterpiece showed the world why ps3 is better. ps3 is the only system that can support a game with such high definition. But Xbox360 is awesome too , ps3 is just better so dont call me a fanboy. (I just dont like the wii)

  • Xpgamer7

    Posted Sep 17, 2009 6:15 am GMT

    why am I cursed to have no money not only not to be able to get a ps3 and this excellent game but at least a 360 and all its games.

    A tad overrated but still one of my favorite games of all time

  • Talon0

    Well, this probably could fit onto two DVDs if the sound were compressed, but that would compromise the quality of one of the best designed soundscapes ever made for a video game.

    Honestly, though, video games just don't get much better than this game.

  • 06JRM06

    Posted Sep 11, 2009 11:44 am GMT

    It really doesn't look like it gets much better than theis. Looking forward to this when I get my hands on a PS3 soon.

  • xtremeflem2day

    Posted Sep 10, 2009 7:13 pm GMT

    Looks pretty badass, im probably gonna get a ps3, which will then complete my collection of all 3 good consoles. Why all the console wars? I love halo 3 and GOW is ass kicking to say the least, but this and killzone 2 make me want a ps3 also. Shouldn't we all be gamers here, rather than console fanboys?

  • f4bd3r3k

    Posted Sep 10, 2009 3:04 pm GMT

    it is amazing how some 360 fanboys cant accept the truth that 360 CANNOT handle a game of this magnitude, mgs4 used almost all 50 gigs blu-ray has to offer, how many dvds is that? (at least 4!!!) and i have high expectations for mgs rising, lets hope 360 doesnt dumb it down to much

    hello people of gamespot! 10/10 doesnt mean divine or perfect, because nothing is perfect. 10/10 just means new and groundbreaking and good at what it does. just look at ocarina of time. so stop saying it doesnt deserve a ten. and if you look under the ten it says "masterful" not "perfect"

  • chedarcheese190

    Posted Sep 5, 2009 2:44 am GMT

    some poor soul on a forum said he didnt get mgs4 or cod4 just because he didnt have a hdtv and he said "it wasnt worth it" without the high def tv.
    i just feel sorry for him. (notice how i didnt call him anything bad)

    i gotta say the begining of the game was a bit stiff, but i guess thats how it was meant to be
