MGS4 Feel the Hate

July 2nd 2008 00:59
MGS4
I wouldn't call this a review as such, because quite frankly I think this game can be summed up in two words, those being: Beautiful / Boring. Yes I am apparently the only gamer on the planet not feeling the Metal Gear Solid 4 love. I personally think it is indeed a stunning graphical feat of genius in parts, but is mowed down in a hail of unwanted - and extremely long - cut-scenes and hard drive installs.


I realize this goes against the grain for most, I realize it's garnering reviews of ten out of ten all over the place. Me... I don't see it, I think it's probably an 8 at best and for me that's pushing it. I also realize some reviewers feel having a 'name' attached - in this case Hideo Kojima - automatically ups the review score, I beg to differ. This is the trap that movie goers fall into when they say silly things like "Oooh 'The Happening' is by M Night Shambolicham, it must be a good movie if he made it"... no! Silly people.

I'm on the last chapter of MGS4 at the moment, perhaps there'll be a sucker punch that will suddenly make me realize it's an earth shattering title.... I'll keep you posted.

MGS4 rant over.
