Серьезно, в течении полугода я почти каждый день запускал боссфайты, чтобы послушать великолепный саундтрек этой игры. Чего только стоит вокал в конце битвы с боссом. Все тело на драйве и каждая клетка твоего тела отзывается на эту музыку. В то время как в том же DMC5 запоминается только 2 саундтрека: главная тема девил тригера и музыкальная тема Вергилия. Из боссфайтов запоминается только сам Вергилий в конце игры. Я не хейтер DMC5 и игра более чем достойная, а боевка, графика и анимации на голову выше чем в MGRR. Тем не менее DMC5 не запоминается и не откладывается в твоем сердце так как это делает MGGR.… Expand

    The only good not-kojima's Metal Gear game. An excellent slasher with unique ingame physics approach. This part absolutely fits in the canon of the series (no matter what fans say) and brings some new depth and colors to it. Boss fights, music, dialogs,characters — everything was made with soul.

    Senator Armstrong did nothing wrong.
    9/10 (too little Sunny's screen time)

    Boss fights are awesome especially with the music blasting your ear drums! Combat is satisfying and fun! Only problem I have with MGR is that it's too short. But there are 60 achievements so I would recommend everyone unlocking those (I have already 65 % of them) I recommend!

    Arguably the best game i've ever played. The story doesn't reach the level of the other mgs games, but you'll be too engrossed in the gameplay to notice it. Best soundtrack ive heard in a game for a while, a really fun slash and dash game.
    Pc controls are atrocious and id recommend playing with a controller. Also graphics aren't too good, but the gameplay overpowers it all

    Pros
    +Fast pace action game like any other Platinum game with Metal Gear series style references and aspects
    +5 Difficulty modes (Easy, Normal, Hard, Very Hard and Revengeance)
    +Lengthy story mode that will take at least 12-15 hours and DLC stories that will take 3-4 hours

    Cons
    -Can get tedious due to QTEs which are mainly in boss battles
    -Character progression is locked in difficulty, unlike other action games, cannot play different difficulties with character upgrades (i.e. finishing normal mode and going to easy mode/hard mode afterwards)
    -DLC difficulty is higher than main story and with far less upgrades
    -Environment designs look generic and bland

    Unlike what sometimes happens when I play a popular game some years after it's release, I do see the appeal of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.

    One of my last glimpses into an era before Konami utterly sabotaged the Metal Gear series, MGR was something of a "dream team" game: The visual design and deep political and technological musings of Kojima Productions and the gonzo action of Platinum Games. While not a generally a fan of Platinum's brand of button mashing, "get good or go home" approach to combat design, I found MGR much more enjoyable then God Hand or Bayonetta, though in the end I think I preferred Mad World.

    A little plot for those unfamiliar with the parent franchise- in as much as anyone could hope to summarize Metal Gear's story. You take the role of Jack, aka Raiden, a conflicted former child soldier turned cyborg mercenary, currently in the employ of Maverick, a PMC with a moral code of conduct attempting to help small countries stabilize themselves. Your enemies are the significantly less moral cyborgs of another group, Desperado, seeking to foment conflict in trouble zones around the world. After a job goes bad and Raiden gets the ♥♥♥♥ kicked out of him by one Jetstream Sam, a Brazilian ronin with hidden motivations, he gets some upgrades and a chip on his shoulder. Armed with a "high-frequency" blade, he must grapple not only with Desperado's top lieutenants, the "Winds of Destruction", and Jetstream Sam, but his own past as the feared "Jack the Ripper".

    MGR's controls are easy enough to pick up, even on keyboard, though the camera is incredibly wonky. The game's challenge is learning to block enemy attacks and the timing for parries. Blocking is non-standard in function, requiring you hold a movement button and press attack in the direction of an incoming blow. I never quite got the hang of it and you essentially cannot defeat the final boss without it, forcing me to beat my head against the fight until I learned the timing for the blocks. I kind of face-tanked my way through most of the game via the DLC Medical Body included in the PC version, but you will eventually run out of health kits and have to figure out blocking, especially, I would imagine, on higher difficulties. On easy, an assist function makes blocking easier by eliminating the need to hold the correct direction.

    Blocking woes aside, the combat is quite fun. Raiden has access to a variety of moves and sub-weapons, as well as the much-loved "Blade Mode" function: Holding left trigger, or left shift, depending, activates a slow motion mode where you can use the mouse or right stick to carve up enemies into possibly hundreds of pieces, though a single cut will often suffice for a kill. And, if it is a weak enemy or a stronger enemy that you have opened for a finisher via a parry or simply beating them down, you will have the opportunity to use "Zandatsu", that is, striking their core and retrieving their repair units, thus replenishing Raiden's health and power, the latter of which is consumed when using Blade Mode. You have the option for stealth kills and even using Metal Gear's famous cardboard boxes to attempt to hide from enemies. To help with this, you can "Augmented Reality" vision mode which allows you to spot enemies and items through walls and plan your approach to an area. On normal you are not really punished for being spotted and having to fight your way out, at least compared to Metal Gear Solid, but you do get a bonus for not triggering alarms and this is probably necessary if you were going for an all "S" rank run. Other items include various grenades, rocket launchers, and health and power kits.

    While not nearly as long or dialogue-dense as its parent series, MGR is nonetheless dialogue and backstory-heavy for an action game and the "Codec" function is alive and well. Any time during a mission, including boss fights, you can call up your mission control NPCs and converse with them. These conversations may sometimes give hints for defeating bosses, but many of them are simply for flavor: politics, military tactics, food culture, technology, and so on. One character, Courtney, also handles manual saving, though the game frequently autosaves. From the Codec menu you can also access a customization menu to purchase upgrades for Raiden's cybernetics, and a VR mission interface containing various training missions and bonus challenges. Completing these missions awards "BP" currency just as the main story does, which can be used to purchase the aforementioned upgrades.

    While I cannot say I ever actually got good at it, I nonetheless enjoyed MGR, especially having previously played Metal Gear Solid. If you are familiar with Raiden from the second and fourth games and perhaps was not a fan of him as I was, at least initially, he really comes into his own as a character here. Sneaking was never really his thing anyway.    … Expand

    The gameplay - if you played any Platinum game you know what I'm talking about. Its fast,

    are free, so no problem with that
    The meme material - NANOMACHINES, SON

    What I didn't like
    The camera - It's fixed to your back, so when you try to look up it's quite difficult to do so.
    The lock-on system - It doesn't work well, it moves your camera to weird angles where it's hard
    to see the enemy.

    Bugs - I've encountered one. In a boss fight, you have to cut through stuff the boss throws at
    you 4 times in a row. On the last one, Raiden turned his back on the boss making it
    hard to cut through it.

    What i liked most about this game was that It is a completely brand new experience in the Metal Gear franchise. We had never seen something likes this before, what makes it a perfect spin off to enjoy something different. This time, instead of the kind of stealth game we were used to see we have a Hack and slash developed by one of the best companies in this genre, Platinum Games.

This time, instead of the kind of stealth game we were used to see we have a Hack and slash developed by one of the best companies in this genre, Platinum Games.
    The story takes place several years after Metal Gear Solid 4, when the patriots seem to be vanished and looks like the peace is coming back to world thanks to private security companies like "Maverick", in which Raiden (our main character we already know if we had played other metal gears before) is involved. However, this last for a little time and Raiden will be forced to get back to action once again.
    The game is full of frenetism and action moments, what makes it really epic and gripping. The gameplay is by far the best part of the game, it's really well made. It's really fun chopping into pieces the enemies who dare to face us with our blade like they were butter and going trough the levels as a cyber ninja. The bosses are great too, from Metal gears to some others cyber ninjas that we'll have to fight along the game.
    It's a pity that such an amount of fun was so short, it will take us around five hours to finish the game what really makes us to want more. Another thing that we have to take into account is that despite we play as a metal gear character, is not as deep as any other title of the saga. The customization is poor and the story is irrelevant.
    To sum up, the game is epic and you'll enjoy a really good couple of hours. However, it's not necessary for the Metal gears storyline and the depth of the plot is disappointing.    … Expand

    Actually, one of the best game i have ever played. Almost all game design elements strive for perfectness. Characters, soundtracks, fightings, weapons, level design. But there is a small porblem - parrying. Its quite difficult to understand at first time how to do such stuff, but when you have realized how to implement it, it will be an easy and satisfying game for you.

    The camera is awful, even with the mod that tries to improve it.

    The save system is very non-ideal and thus you end up having to restart the whole level instead of just an earlier save/checkpoint.

    There are certain things that are frustratingly finicky, such as stealth kill. You get right on the enemy's back but only some of the time it will give the prompt to stealth kill. The other half of the time it just does nothing and alerts the enemy and you have to play the section over and over.

    Doesn't seem to be any option to bind a key to weapon switch so you have to go in the menu every time you want to do that.

    The game has some cool & unique aspects but the annoying parts kind of ruin it.

    The AI's detection of you when you're trying not to be seen has zero consistency.

    The blade mode can be super inaccurate at times. Such as when you need to cut a guy's arm off to collect a special item. I found myself having to restart the checkpoint over and over even though the sword appeared to be going through the highlighted spot. Ended up just ignoring that whole aspect of the game because it's just not fun.

    Too often you're fighting against bugs/glitches/bad design. To where any desire to complete the bonus objectives/challenges (or even the end of the game) is lost.    … Expand

    Игра в принципе мне понравилась, но чтобы поставить оценку корректно будет сравнить её с главным конкурентом по жанру в год выхода - Dmc от Ninja Theory. Итак, приступим к сравнению по пунктам:

    - Мобы. Мобы-люди откровенно хуже рядовых мобов из Dmc, их мало и убиваются они слишком быстро, в таком случае я не успевал войти в раж, как это происходит со мной в серии Devil may cry например.    Игра в принципе мне понравилась, но чтобы поставить оценку корректно будет сравнить её с главным конкурентом по жанру в год выхода - Dmc от Ninja Theory. Итак, приступим к сравнению по пунктам:

    - Мобы. Мобы-люди откровенно хуже рядовых мобов из Dmc, их мало и убиваются они слишком быстро, в таком случае я не успевал войти в раж, как это происходит со мной в серии Devil may cry например. где сложность и количество мобов к слову всегда поддерживается на таком уровне, что ты просто входишь в этот адреналиновый коридор, и забываешь про всё на свете. Здесь этого нет, более того, иногда даже приходилось скучать, и фишка с шинковкой врагов на фарш хоть и крута, но не спасает положение. Также есть мобы-роботы, с ними ситуация получше, но опять же, баланс плох, либо их мало, и интереса в боях с ними никакого нет, либо слишком много, что принуждает к стелсу, так как открытое противостояние равносильно смерти.

    Боссы. По этому пункту опять же Dmc предпочтительнее, там их больше, и что самое главное бои с ними интереснее. В метал гир райзинг действительно круты только Monsoon, который заставил попотеть и потраить, и финальный файт. Остальные боссы мало того, что лёгкие, так и ничего интересного в плане механик в боях с ними и стадий, то есть изменений их состояний по ходу боя, больше не было. И это очень мало, для слэшера с такой продолжительностью.

    - Сюжет. Этот компонент конечно в слэшерах не главное, но в данном случае он не затянул ни на минуту. Это банальная история про амбициозных людей, стемящихся к власти и я был бы только рад, если бы диалогов и кат-сцен было меньше. Их количество превышало все разумные нормы для данного жанра и здорово портило динамику. Но раз кодзима учавствовал в разработке, то по другому наверно быть и не могло.

    - Дизайн локаций, графика. Здесь всё очень плохо, по графике это как-будто 2009 год. По дизайну локаций, сплошная серость и одинаковые улочки, закончил игру буквально час назад, а памяти даже зацепиться не за что, когда речь идёт о интересных локациях и красивых визуальных решениях.

    - Механика боёв, их зрелищность. Здесь игра выступает достойно, есть различные комбо, есть интересная механика, базирующаяся на травмировании тел врагов и последующей расчленёнке.

    Итог: METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE - крутой слэшер с потрясающей механикой боёв, которому не хватает интенсивности геймплея и красоты, а также разнообразия локаций. То есть, это такой F.E.A.R. от мира слэшеров, тому тоже не хватало интенсивности экшна, из-за регулярных хоррор-эпизодов, и интересных решений в гейм-дизайне - вся игра была сплошным серым коридором. В основе этих двух игр заложена потрясающая механика, которая страдает от неудачных решений гейм-дизайна. Хотел поставить 7, но финальный босс файт дал жару, поэтому...

    - Really wonky camera - just when I try to line up a shot with the rocket launcher, it randomly 180s me. Even just running around it jitters back and forth constantly, and points me at walls randomly. Every non-trivial fight is two battles: one against the enemy, and the other against the camera.
    - Related: the game can't decide whether it wants to be played like an FPS or side-scroller - sometimes it expects you to move in screen space, sometimes in world space.
    - Consolisms that don't translate to PC are everywhere. For instance, repeatedly mashing a mouse button just doesn't work here. Repetitive stress injury, anyone?
    - Constantly flipping back into menus to select usable items (there are very few configurable hotkeys)
    - Parrying feels like it just doesn't work a lot of the time, even if all you are doing is just sitting there trying to parry. Not sure if this is a bug or whether it is just overtuned.

    On the plus side, the graphics, music, and sound effects are pretty awesome even now (5 years after release). Even the story isn't too bad. But overall this game is just really frustrating to play on the PC. There is a good game underneath all these issues, if they had just put in a bit more tuning, it might have worked out. Its really too bad. If you choose to buy this, make sure you get it on sale, or play on a console I guess, maybe it is better there.    … Expand

    Metal Gear Rising is a spinoff title that has earned a place in my heart as one of my personal favorites. From the start, the player can experiment with the combat system, as well as Raiden's ability to slice up a lot of his surrounding environment. As you progress through the game, you can upgrade and customize your skills and stats to create a weapon loadout of your choice, each boss weapon you earn having its own strengths and weaknesses. The soundtrack is incredibly fitting, with boss battles getting iconic and unique theme songs that finish up with their own climatic and bombastic endings. The story does not take itself too seriously, providing a lot of comedy while not being afraid to switch to a more serious tone when needed.

    Metal Gear Rising is however not without its flaws though, as the controls and parry system can be confusing and difficult to pick up, some of these harder parts of combat which become extremely needed in the later parts of the game, or if you want to go for the no-hit run through the game. A lot of content feels unnecessary as well, with VR missions being generally very difficult and the DLC changing most of the gameplay in more lackluster ways that take away from what the game had been doing well. (I'm looking at you Bladewolf DLC with your stealth execution gameplay). Replayability can differ for the player, as some may find the DLC and VR missions worth the extra time.

    I do highly recommend this game, especially if it’s on sale though as it makes for a fantastic game on the first playthrough, and maybe even to replay occasionally.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I came here to slap those negative reviews "not agile character" well yeah,he isn't agile but if you are like at stage 2 of the game,he will be..don't judge the game on the prologue and write a review here oh God that review is so hilarious for it's lack of logic.Anyway,here are the ACTUAL points of the game,and not those negative reviewers telling the game is bad without pin-pointing why is it...in short,useless statements without substance.

    Pros:
    -Good action,frantic,engaging.
    -Boss fights are like you've never seen before,comparable,or even greater for some,to many famous hack and slash titles
    -Bosses are fun to fight,fun to listen to,and are poetic.
    -Bosses have personalities,substance,character build-up,so fighting them feels a lot more better due to that build-up.
    -Enemies are cut where you cut them,not just random generated gore,where your blade lands,your cut appears...even when not in blade mode,or even more so with the fox blade.
    -Optimization is good,anyone saying the PC port isn't optimized is totally fooling you around,with all the details,enemies,objects,can even be cut to hundred pieces or more with you god damned HF Blade,that's a lot of optimization right here.And when I say everything,I mean everything,from ceiling,windows,chairs,tables,anything your blade touches except well,walls of course,because that'd be an open world game if that happened.
    -Raiden's in it.
    -Because ninja.
    -Fun,no seriously if you master the combos and can combo while dodging or parrying it's so fun and engaging,especially the block mechanic..though I know why some people get put off by it,because it has a high skill-ceiling to even block something..you can block a hundred missiles coming at you in a span of 3 seconds if you can press a hundred times in that 3 seconds...especially with the battle with Monsoon blocking and dodging takes a lot of skill,not for CASUALS.
    -Casuals might have a hard time especially if their reflexes or timing is crap even at medium difficulty,and nigh impossible at hard for someone who doesn't have good reflex or timing.

    Cons:
    -Not for casuals.
    -Not a stealth based game,though there are some stealth levels.
    -So many people **** how hard it is,when it isn't.It's just they haven't put much time into the learning curve.
    -If you don't have a good imagination,you might find it absurd(the story and ways of executing it).So not for someone too grounded in the real world,go play something else like real life simulator or something if a game which isn't all too real bothers you.

    The only thing why I'm not giving it a 10 is the consideration for those who have sentiments on a pure stealth metal gear game.Other than that I would've gave it a 10.Also,the price...the price isn't just right,it's like you just ripped off Konami,a game like this should've been 60-100 bucks for a master hack and slasher.

MGR is probably the best example of a game being more than just the sum of its parts. The combat is a bit button-mashy (with slowly reacting AI) on lower difficulties, map design is mostly point A to point B, and the weapon variety is very limited. Somehow the game overcomes its shortcomings by combining ridiculous over-the-top cutscenes, a diverse OST with tracks ranging from traditional MGS-style ambience to blood-pumping boss themes, and a cast of uniquely difficult bosses that all feel like properly fleshed out worthy opponents for your anime cyborg ninja.

    Western devs are trying so hard to remove bosses and "video gamey" elements that when something like MGR comes along it feels like a breath of fresh air despite doing nothing revolutionary. MGR is a video game made by people who actually play video games and it shows. Bosses will beat techniques into you and make you get good, only to have the next boss require you to "unlearn" and adapt your previous strategies. MGR's bosses are an outstanding example of good game design in every way possible... I honestly can't remember the last time I played a game with such memorable boss fights.

    MGR manages to feel like an extension of MGS while standing on its own strengths. With a plausible plotline (within the MGS universe at least), charismatic bosses, a likable supporting cast, and actual character development in an action game, MGR creates something unique by smoothly melding a bevy of genre staples. I don't know if MGS fans will want to pick this up, but its hard to deny the adrenaline-pumping awesomeness of Metal Gear Rising.    … Expand

    Really nice hack and slash focused entirely on pure combat with one of the smartest combat techniques I ever seen (blade slashing mode). In this game you slash foes without thinking too much or having to solve useless puzzles to get through the levels.

In this game you slash foes without thinking too much or having to solve useless puzzles to get through the levels.

    Graphic is awesome and the programmers managed to get a lot of polygons where needed, and almost none where no one cares, totally appreciated that because this game never ever drops fps.
    Music is nice, you get a lot of electro-ambient music running around and pop-rock music on boss fights (I have to say I don't like that kind of music, but since boss fights are not hours long it doesn't hurt much)
    Plot is good, of course nothing new: the bad guys against the children + the world, the good guys trying to save them + the world, but it was at least enjoyable.

    Gameplay is fantastic, you have the classic slashing around, parries (not really a good button combination for those, a guard button was probably better than light attack one) and a blade slashing mode that works slowing time a lot and letting you MANUALLY slash things (having the slashed object cut exactly where you aim). I felt like Goemon with that one.
    Difficulty seemed quite fair. I have to say I'm not used to the semi-interactive cinematic system (press button X, now button Y, spam button Z, etc) and so I had hard time with bosses for like 5 minutes at 0,1% while failing the semi-automated cinematics instructions...

    About flaws, I think there are just two quite noticeable: the replenishing mechanic should have been far less than FULL replenishment (this quite often makes things too easy) and the camera movement is awful with a mouse (default keybindings are instead "acceptable").
    So, well, the camera is fine if you have a controller since it's a 100% port from console versions (DLCs included) but controlling the camera with a mouse is just not possible at 100% effectiveness. Your mouse works like an analogic lever (which is not) and thus the erratic camera movement with mice.

    Anyway it was good overall. So let's say totally recommended if you have a gamepad, not so much if you've not and you're not that much an hack and slash fan.    … Expand

Empecemos con algo bueno:
    La música es increíble, tiene una buena banda sonora con notas dando en el momento justo, seguro acabaras descargando la música. Un aspecto malo es que el juego DURA 5 HORAS. Es extremadamente corto, si lo re-juegas puedes superarlo en menos, de hecho, hay un logro en el cual debes terminarlo en menos de 3 horas. Es corto y los creadores lo saben. Sin embargo, el combate es muy divertido, tienes una espada pero luego puedes desbloquear mas espadas y otras 3 armas únicas, pero tienes que pagar por todas ellas y solo tienen ataques fuerte por lo que no puedes bloquear si no usas espada, así que acabaras usando solo la espada o sufrirás muchos daños por golpes que con ningún arma secundarias podrás bloquear. Y si hablamos de jefes? Son batallas muy entretenidas, cada jefe es único y también tienen personalidades únicas, aparte de que tienen muy buena música. Sin embargo son algo malas en si, y en si me refiero a lo fácil que algunas son. Aquí llegas a tener un rival llamado "Sam", un igual que usa la espada que parece ser un igual en poder como Dante y Vergil en DmC. Pero no lo es, es tal ves el jefe mas fácil de todo el juego... Eso es lamentable. :( Otro aspecto negativo es que no hay tanta variedad en el combate como en DmC: Devil May Cry, por el gran historial de Platinium Games esperaba mas variedad y algo mas de duración. Se puede re-jugar pero hay problemas como que no puedes saltarte de un clic el dialogo de personajes, tienes que mantener Z y esperar como medio minuto a que paren de hablar. Además se volverá mas repetitivo el combate si lo re juegas. DmC: Devil May Cry tenia una historia de igual calibre y un combate mas variado y mejor, aparte de una mayor duración y variedad de enemigos. Aquí los personajes son muy interesantes destacando a: Raiden, Doktor, Wolf y el villano Armstron, que lamentablemente solo sale 10 minutos en todo el maldito juego. Pero los 10 minutos son oro puro, es uno de mis villanos favoritos, en serio, si lo miran seguro que se te quedara en la mente por un rato. (este es mi primer metal gear, seguro que han habido mejores por lo que he oído) Al final le tengo que dar un 06/10, por lo corto y repetitivo pierde puntos, pero aun así es buen juego, consigue a 30 o si puedes menos, el juego esta... es algo así como uno de los manjares de los hoteles que son pequeños, deliciosos y, lamentablemente, con un precio muy elevado. Si tuviera que puntuarlo por su precio completo de consola le daría un 05/10, pero por suerte la versión de PC salio ganando.    … Expand

    CONS: Frame-rate limit drops by 1 fps every hour or so, until a full restart (e.g. 3 hours of play = 57 fps limit). Game ignores my chosen refresh rate (60hz) and instead uses my highest (75hz), resulting in consistent jitters (fixed via 3rd party app that forces 60hz). Mouse pointer comes in during random cutscenes. Crashed once (hardly worth mentioning). Crappy keyboard + mouse support (not really a con for me). No support above 1080p (also not my con. I use 720p).

    Conclusion: It's a lot of fun and not a terrible port, optimized for the most part. I think I paid $15... no regrets. I don't get why anyone would need over 1080p. It's not like the textures will look any better on 1440p, 4K or whatever. The graphics aren't ground-breaking, and still wouldn't be if you managed to take a time-machine to 4 years ago and showed it to everyone in 2010, but that's totally okay.    … Expand

I thought I would get numb to that within a few tries, but turned out it has so many other factors and additions (spam-cutting is often not the best scenario in terms of outcome) that keep it interesting, not to mention the raw psychological pleasure of grinding your enemies into pieces. Kill mode/ killing cut scenes are also creative and just plain cool.

    Every boss fight is memorable. Not only did the dev think up so many different moves for each boss, but they just nailed the brief interactions between Raiden and each boss so precisely (with great lines and main character development) that evoked different emotions when fighting different boss. It tries to do the "you're not just battling, but battling with ideas" thing which is dangerous since it's beaten to death. But they still managed to pull off new and interesting ideas in the process, of which I think proudly upheld the great track record of the MGS series.

    In addition, it contains a lot of Japanese elements (environments/ character persona/ humor) which sneak in as a pleasant break from the hack and slash.

I don't know how many times I cursed because I was against a wall and all of a sudden the camera decided to face the wall so I couldn't see who or what was attacking me. This becomes more important later on as you're expected to block or dodge attacks but you can't see the visual cues.

    Boss fights are pretty easy up until the last couple of them. When they start to become more difficult it can be very frustrating. For example, you can get through most of the game while just ignoring the parry mechanic for the most part but one of the later bosses basically requires you to be proficient with it.

    There are a lot of times also when you are basically going to take a lot of damage and there's nothing you can do about it. Attacks can line up in such a way that there is no ability to avoid them so you parry a couple of attacks and then eat an attack that can't be parried. And then two more while you're on the ground. And now you're dazed.

    The story is okay (but not great) to start, but when it attempts to delve into Jack's past it becomes laughable.

    The game's flaws are few, imho, but they are so critical that it really made me dislike it at the end. If you're considering this game, you're better off with God of War, Devil May Cry, or Darksiders.    … Expand

    this game's greatest strength is that it revels in being this just for fun over the top hack n slash that is the trademark of platinum. you play as raiden, and you get to do things that, quite frankly, raiden has been seen going in metal gear solid 4 a lot of the time.
    if you were expecting cameos by solid snake or references to the events of past metal gear titles, i laugh at you, I laugh at you and hold my belly whilst I do so.
    the game likes to detach itself from the canon, to keep its plot seperate but connected, there are a total of one references to solid snake, none of big boss and sunny is only there because she and raiden have a history, and she's only there for a few moments before you're flying off in a superjet with a robot dog.
    i'm not even making that up.
    this game likes to make the ludicrous seem possible, or even plausible, from a cyborg brazilian samurai with a glowing red sword and a flawless trollface grin, to an indestructible US senator who spawned an internet meme with a single line before kicking your cyborg ninja character around like a football while making football league remarks, this is a game that doesn't **** around with the ridiculous-meter. but as I said, it's a blast to play, from explosions framing you in the background after many boss fights, to insane waves of enemies being chopped down in a single cut, the game's strength is its presentation and addictive "zandatsu" system, which involves you cutting enemies apart in exactly the way you direct the blade, which of course most processors have nightmares about.
    the plot is good, featuring a trial of raiden's own honor code, which is then dropped mid-game for the sake of going **** crazy and just rescuing children because that was the objective the entire time, who needs honor?
    despite this pitfall, the game is clearly a metal gear game, it feels like what metal gear would be like if it were simply an action title, it IS metal gear.
    the combat is also surprisingly deep, various I-frames or parrying frames changing between difficulty as well as a few notable adjustments to AI the harder the settings. these small details within the game speak of a well designed title that is worthy of the metal gear name.
    so if you like having a blast slashing apart hapless cyborgs for their electrical intestines, then this is the game for you you unrepentant psychopath! =)    … Expand

    i borrowed this game from a friend and even though I had never played any metal gear games before the story was easy to follow , I know that raiden had not been liked in games before , I liked his character in this game . the gameplay was solid and I didn't have to much trouble with the game up until the final boss ,but that's not to say the games is easy , I had a large amount of troublei borrowed this game from a friend and even though I had never played any metal gear games before the story was easy to follow , I know that raiden had not been liked in games before , I liked his character in this game . the gameplay was solid and I didn't have to much trouble with the game up until the final boss ,but that's not to say the games is easy , I had a large amount of trouble until I got the hang of the parry system , not to give any spoilers but the weapons you can unlock when you kill the bosses are crap except for the first one you get in my opinion . the camera has a few issues but nothing that was so bad I couldn't play .… Expand

    If you enjoy hack and slash type games and would like a game based around Raiden then Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is a game you should get. Graphically it's impressive on PC and personally I use a wired Xbox 360 controller so I haven't had any issues with controlling Raiden at all.

    This game is impossible to beat,the final boss is so cheap and requires inhuman reflexes.the parry system sucks and the controls are unresponsive.Without doubt one of the worst games ever created.

    While short, this game accomplishes everything it seeks to do, and perfects it. Flawless gameplay, unique and fitting soundtrack, and a wacky yet interesting story make MGR a great grab for anyone looking for a short, but satisfying experience of cutting everything up.

    Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is great looking, great playing action explosion, and the PC version is the best version. [Feb 2014]

    Raiden reaps what the action filled gameplay sows and if it wasn't for the clunky camera and lackluster plot, there would be nothing to complain about. [Issue #239]

    It might be unpolished, but it still is a gem among slashers, especially on a platform that lacks this kind of game. [03/2014, p.72]
