Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Video Review

[MGSpencer2991]

WOW!!!!!!! dude seriously... i couldnt have said it better myself... if my brother wasnt such a dick and would let me play his PS3, of if i could afford a PS3 I would be playing Metal Gear 4 right now. INCREDIBLE review

[m16mang]

Very nice review.

Metal Gear Solid's soundtrack makes me emotional...I'm such a dork...Or it's just good music.

[riveraricardo3553]

[kennysdead500]

[InformantiveNigga]

lovin this video!! leave me a comment

looking for friends O2

[legendofjon2]

Dam your review are so well done that they could be competing against IGN and GT.

[ProjectCOE]

Thanks a million. Our site is getting a major facelift in the coming weeks so be sure to keep an eye out for it. We're going to post a YouTube video explaining everything we've done once it is all finished with. COE is truly going to become a community-driven site so we hope you look forward to it.

[legendofjon2]

Fantastic!!!

Just 1 remark : make the video gameplay match what your saying, don't just expose trailers.

[ProjectCOE]

That's part of the plan. The person we just met that's going to help us with our CMS problem is also saying he can give us a dedicated server. If this all pans out, you can expect some high-quality videos that are made via direct feed footage. It's going to take a little time to get there, but it looks like it's really going to happen.

[legendofjon2]

good luck and i will look forward to it, that's it for now i guess.

[FaroBenitez]

i agree everything u said in ur review. the game is crazy good. after i played and beat mgs4 since release every game ive played including gears 2(amazing game) , resistance 2(disapointing campain), dead space ect. felt like a down grade in fact i don't think any game can match mgs4 for a long long time.

[ProjectCOE]

Yeah MGS4 is truly one of a kind. I'm not entirely sure what Kojima-san is going to do now that MGS4 is out and about. He said he doesn't want to make another one, so I'm just hoping that whatever he does, it ends up being another masterpiece.

Thanks for the comment.

[FaroBenitez]

best game ever!!!! well the only dissapointing part is the codec it would have been awesome if sunny was the save codec frequency to get her more involve in the story.alas every mgs game always have a codec freq for the wepon specialist that tells u about wepons u equiped,thats missing to.select botton is not even the default codec botton anymore.game is still amazing but to fully enjoy this game u have to had sold or invested in the mgs story already theres no where around it.

[ProjectCOE]

Indeed the best way to get the story is to have played through the rest of the series and really been involved with them. I'm pleased that Konami decided to release the Metal Gear Database on the PlayStation Network though, as that really helps flesh things out.

[FaroBenitez]

it sure is interesting to see wat the kojima team gonna do with mgs5, kojima is still producing so thats good news. whats more interesting to me is the new upcoming action-adventure title he keeps talking about i wonder was it looks like.

[ProjectCOE]

Yeah there are several projects we've heard about. Personally I'm interested in ZOE, Snatcher and Policenauts. Policenauts never came to North America, but the import version is insanely awesome. I can't wait to see whatever he decides to work on next. We should see something come next TGS.

Thanks for keeping the conversation going. It's always nice to talk to a fellow MGS fan.

[FaroBenitez]

I love ZOE but ZOE2 blew it out the water, the combat was crazy fast at the time. It was like ninja gaiden with robots. but yeah i would love to see ZOE3 for the PS3. i can just imagine if kojima continues Snater or Policenauts that would be cool.

[ProjectCOE]

I'd pass out if ZOE3 ever got announced. It's a shame we have to wait all the way until TGS 2009 before we hear anything officially. Perhaps a few teasers will get released before then. I'll be sure to let you know if any of our industry pals let anything slip.

Right now I just hope the game blows my mind as much as MGS4 did.

[mandude648]

BEST GAME EVER

[ProjectCOE]

It has also received our highest score of all time ;)

[drag022]

This game contains, content innappropiate for children??, I mean bad words, and sex things???

[ProjectCOE]

ProjectCOE strongly agrees with local rating systems. In North America we go by the ESRB, and as such this game should be played by people 17 and older. The ESRB also adds the following comments, which are all featured within the game "Blood, Crude Humor, Strong Language, Suggestive Themes, Violence"

I hope that helps.

[mrclutch87]

what would anyone rate the replay value and CAN u put the snake eater song on the ipod

[ProjectCOE]

The replay value here is through the roof thanks to the inclusion of Metal Gear Online. As far as the in-game iPod is concerned, there are countless unlockable tracks in the game and Konami has been releasing more and more through the download option in the game. As for this specific song, I'm not sure offhand, but I'll see if I can find out for you.

[mrclutch87]

great review keep doing what u doing

[ProjectCOE]

Thanks a million, and if you keep enjoying them, we'll keep making them. :)

[djg545]

yaar i think dat metal gear 4 iz da only game dat has nuttin wrong wit it, do u agree?

[ProjectCOE]

It's the closest to perfection any game has come. It's why I gave the game the score I did. I stand by that score as well.  MGS4 is truly a masterpiece.

[djg545]

hell yeah good u gave it dat score it fkn deserves it

[djg545]

ayo i just completed this game and fkn amzing!!!!!!!!!!!! i luv it man! amazing way 2 end da game!!! ayo good review man it should get people 2 get buy da game lol

[ProjectCOE]

Thanks. The way this game ends is simply incredible. I loved every single minute of it. I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but the whole ending after the final beauty boss battle to the credits was just awesome. It is without a doubt, one of the best endings ever.

[djg545]

aye man fuk sake its fkn good da bit in da end woz fkn good and unexpected

[lacroixma]

I started a run for the big boss emblem, wish me luck!!! I'll let you know how it goes...

[ProjectCOE]

Good luck! It is extremely difficult. Be warned though, Sony's new trophy system will not work on old saved games. It means that should you complete it before Kojima Production issues a patch for MGS4, you'll have to redo it again to unlock the trophy. Just putting that out there ;)

[lacroixma]

ah man. are you serious? That's a bummer, it's too late now though... I'm fighting crying wolf on my way to the BBE as we speak. Maybe if I keep just a save file near the end game, and beat the final boss, hopfully that will be enough. Thanks for the heads up on that though. I can prepare myself mentally for another round.

[ProjectCOE]

That's exactly what I'm doing. I'm going to keep a save right near the end of the game just in case the trophies aren't retroactive. It's always good to be prepared ;)

[Sora928]

Kinda weird how I started likeing Metal Gear Solid Seriew. I played "Mesal Gear Solid" I've enjoyed it and can see why the Metal Gear serie's fun. Speaking about monkeys, do you think that they are any Ape Escape refrence like in Metal Gear Solid 3

[ProjectCOE]

I believe you meant to ask if there are any references in MGS4, because there's an entire mini-game in MGS3. As far as I can tell, I haven't spotted any references in MGS4. I'll let you know though, should I stumble onto any.

[lacroixma]

I agree 100% with you said. I just beat the game for the second time and I will play again and again and again... I bought the ps3 just for this game (msg4 bundle) and it IS worth every penny. I want the soundtrack so bad now. Anyway, Awsome game and awsome review P COE!

[ProjectCOE]

I'm glad you liked the game.  I can't get enough of it myself. I'm currently playing through it on Big Boss Extreme and it's one heck of a challenge.

[Waynetoven]

MGS4 is without equal

Keep up the great reviews ProjectCOE.

[ProjectCOE]

Thanks!

[Mapscastle]

Your review was just like the game. Beyond words and simply mind blowing

[ProjectCOE]

Thanks.

It's amazing how many people have got into MGS4. It truly has lived up to its hype.

[kutle69]

i am blown away by ur review and as soon as i get a ps3 this is the first gaem and also the musik was breath takeing

[ProjectCOE]

Thanks for the kind words.

MGS4 is truly an incredible game and the soundtrack is utterly fantastic. The first song you hear in the video review is called "Old Snake" and it's one of the main themes to MGS4. The other song is from the original MGS and is titled "The Best Is Yet To Come." Thankfully MGS4 contains a lot of the music from the rest of the series and I highly recommend everyone listen to the soundtracks from the previous games. They're all great.

[TheRealChina]

This is by far the best game.

10/10 most definately

[ProjectCOE]

10/10 Indeed. It's the first time I've ever given a game a 10/10 and I stand by my statement that it deserves it. It's a great game that should be played by everyone.

[h7u3tpus]

This game is incredible. I bought a PS3 just for it and I fully agree with you, this game really is a masterpiece.

[ProjectCOE]

Thanks for the comment. This is a great game.

[streetkiller1795]

tell me should i sell my 360 for a ps3 and get this

[ProjectCOE]

It completely depends on how much you use your Xbox 360. There are many great Xbox 360 titles out there like Ninja Gaiden II, Gears of War, Mass Effect, Halo 3, etc, etc. With that said, I will say that no gamer should be without MGS4, it's really that good, but whether or not you should give up everything the 360 has to offer is something else entirely. That is a choice you will have to make on your own.

[streetkiller1795]

so i will think about just selling old games and saving up instead

[pintor360]

i want a PS3 for this, GTA IV and Final fantasy XIII (versus XIII too)

[ProjectCOE]

When people ask me if they should buy a PlayStation 3, I tell them that this game alone is worth the price of admission. It's a masterpiece from start to finish.
