4/5 Stars - A great game for people with no hands! - May 30th, 2009I love this game. I don't have any hands, so I was worried the game may be difficult, similar to every other game I've ever played without hands. Boy, was I wrong! This game is 90-100% cutscenes (which are in-game movies that serve, in this case, to further complicate the story.) You don't need hands at all to watch cutscenes, unless you want to skip it, but that will just shorten the wait til the inevitable bad parts of this game (see below). The story is good. It's about a space pirate named One-Eyed Snakes. He's 1000 years old and has robots in his blood to keep him alive. There's a lot of other crazy stuff going on, but I don't want to type it out because I didn't understand it and also I have no hands. My favourite part in the game is when a certain character *SPOILER* gets both his arms cut off and has to kill people with a sword in his teeth *SPOILER END*. I can relate. Except I didn't kill anyone.Now for the negative aspects, every once in awhile you will be forced to move Snake around to another area. This is almost always easy to accomplish using your toes. But on occasion, you will have to use some kind of weapon or other multi-button task, I usually let my brother do this even though he only has the left half of his brain. This is irritating if you don't have a brother, but a minor quibble as it is only a small part of the game. Overall I give it two thumbs up.
the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.

Y'know, before Revengeance ruined him again.

The original Liquid, not Ocelot's throat-cancerous manchild Liquid.

But the story is just... ugh. It's the Attack of the Clones for Metal Gear.I did like the Sunny cameo, though. Mostly because it fixed my opinion of her from MGS4 (I hated her a lot in that game).

I usually hate kids in fiction, but her shenanigans amused me once or twice, and I didn't notice her most of the time.

I really treasure Metal Gear Solid 4 as a great game. I think it bridged a fair amount of action, with what you would expect from a Hollywood film.
Some of the stages (such as the one where you run from the Raven PMC in Europe) are close to an experience that games should strive to provide.
However, despite those features, I do think it's subpar to Metal Gear Solid 3.
The balance between story, action and dialogue was better achieved, and executed all around. Metal Gear Solid 4, just like Old Snake, is a tired story that is struggling to carry itself to a completion and slap a "The End" at a behemoth.
That is also why Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, and The Phantom Pain are drastic developments to achieve both the cinematic immersion, and action in the same experience whilst it upholds the values taken from Metal Gear Solid 3 and maybe from Metal Gear Solid when it comes to dialogues and the overall story.
Just found this review for MGS4 (lol it's pretty funny)
