    This game is awesome, I don't get why some people are saying it is bad. You wont find a game like this, ever! I give a 9 because it is really short, but the gameplay is unique. Some people don't like Raiden, but I don't find it important. I liked metal gear II with Raiden´s episode too. If you played Metal Gear 4 and thought: "I want to play like Raiden", then this is that game. IncredibleThis game is awesome, I don't get why some people are saying it is bad.

    I had never heard of Platinum Games before this game was changed from MGS Rising into MGR Revengeance. I was so sad that MGS Rising got **** because it looked so cool.

Thankfully Revengeance turned out to be an awesome game in its own right. Platinum payed a tribute to MGS with how faithful this game was to the style and feel of MGS and threw in a little (a lot actually) of their own over-the-top flair. I wondered going into the game who the boss could possibly be and how could he possibly be stronger than 4 super cool evil cyborg ninjas? How? NANOMACHINES SON! Sorry I had to say it. Anyway this game also had really great music that fit the game perfectly, and Raiden's transformation from whiny self-pitying loser in MGS4 who seriously says "it even rained on the day I was born" LOL (I still liked MGS4 Raiden) into a psycho cyborg killing obsessed maniac is great. I only hope that Raiden returns one day to slay new hopefully even cooler evil cyborgs and nanomachined up war mongers.… Expand

    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.

It's also one of the few games in which you're able to CUT YOUR WAY THROUGH-OUT the playable areas and not looking for a path to go wherever you wanna go. The only boring mission the game (in my opinion) is when you face the Metal Gear EXCELSUS (mission before the final boss). Another "negative" are the long cinematics (but you have to see them if you wanna understand the story) but you can just skip them and kick some cyborg ass !!! Last of all I'd like the gameplay to be longer because it's realy awsome but the plot is complete and you gonna enjoy it realy much.… 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.

    It's a little sad that there are a few minor flaws but there all pretty much nonexisting due to just how fun the game is. Since the price has considerable dropped from last year, you must get this game, right now. Its fun, challenging, fun to replay, and is down to its core epic.

Эта игра с одной из самых лучших и драйвовых саундтреков боссфайтов, если не самая лучшая. 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

    A medida vas jugando te das cuenta de que muchos fallos estaban apropósito, NO ESTAMOS HABLANDO DE UN JUEGO FÁCIL.

    Este juego es dificil de comprender y de jugar, por lo que solo y únicamente una vez que logras comprenderlo (a mi me tomó 6 horas) recién ahí comienzas a aprender a jugar y a mejorar. Primero te parecerá una jugabilidad patética y estúpida, exagerada... Una vez comprendas el por que de todo, te darás cuenta de todo lo que hacias mal (como me pasó a mi, que incluso a inicio en steam le puse "no recomendado" y ahora hace poco modifiqué mi comentario y puse "Recomendado").

    Estamos ante un gran juego con 1 SOLO FALLO IRREFUTABLE... Y este fallo es la cámara. Dios... La cámara de mierda aveces se va para donde quiere y otras tantas no mueve cuando se lo indica con el movimiento de cámara. Este error me ha hecho morir varias veces, pero por suerte no es tan recurrente... He muerto más por fallos de mi habilidad que por la cámara.

    Recomiendo este juego!. No es perfecto, es dificil comprenderlo y aprender a jugarlo... Pero una vez que lo consigues, te das cuenta de lo espectacular que es en su jugabilidad.    … Expand

    What I liked
    The gameplay - if you played any Platinum game you know what I'm talking about. Its fast,
    responsive and just fun overall OST - The OST is pretty damn good, one of the best I've ever listened to in a game Story - Its.. well dumb, but in a good way. I liked it Bossfights - Bossfights are very well done, I've enjoyed every one of them The DLCs - There were 2 free DLCs    What I liked

    The DLCs - There were 2 free DLCs where you play as different characters, its short but they
    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.

    9/10 - Give me a sequel or atleast a remaster god damnit    … 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.

    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

    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.
