    Wow this game has a lot of cutscenes. The stealth in this game is very fun. Just like the other MGS games, this one is no different. The amount of references to the first game was kind of jarring, otherwise, the boss fights in this game are good as well. The story is kind of a mixed bag, combined with the other MGS games, the story is very confusing.

    Amazing game, a must buy for a Metal Gear fan.
    The gameplay is probably tied with Snake Eater and the gameplay in that game was a 10/10.
    The great animations, CQC, the stuff you could mess around with and soo much more.
    The story has it's flaws but it's worth the wait for the fantastic and emotional moments.

    The perfect ending for an almost flawless series. MGS truly is Kojima's baby and it shows all of his dedication and genius.

    MGS was revolutionary in both gameplay and story for its time period. MGS 2 made tons of improvements gameplay-wise and also delivered a brilliant story.

MGS 3 proved how good this series is and gave the perfect start for the chronology of MGS. And MGS 4 comes to close the curtains and deliver one of the most powerful and emotional stories in the series.

    The gameplay was probably the most polished, deep, and interesting I've ever played apart from maybe Dark Souls and Bloodborne. I loved the OctoCamo and all the options you could use to pass through your enemies unnoticed. This game also makes you think about your enemies, as the story doesn't imply they are bad, giving you the choice to not kill them like in the previous entries. But that's completely optional, although if you decide to go for the "Rambo" and kill everyone, your character feels the consequences and that was a very smart and cool detail. There are so many secrets to be found and different ways to play the game. It's incredible.

    I always find it hard to decide which one I love the most: MGS 3 or 4. I will have to replay this game in the future and decide once and for all.    … Expand

Denn es gibt vermutlich kein anderes Spiel mit solch ausladenden Cut Scenes und Zwischensequenzen. Diese können gerne einmal 30 bis 45 Minuten einfach am Stück laufen. Von der tatsächlichen Spielzeit des Games, etwa 20h bei einem ausgedehnten Durchgang, sitzt man so gefühlt mehr als die Hälfte der Zeit einfach da und schaut einen Metal Gear Film. (wtf?) Dass Kojima's "Geschenk an die Fans", so kann man den vierten Teil der Reihe sicherlich wohlwollend beschreiben, dennoch ein sehr gutes Spiel geworden ist, verdankt es einmal mehr der großartigen Story, der es tatsächlich gelingt, alle losen Fäden des mittlerweile hochkomplizierten MGS Universums noch einmal in die Hand zu nehmen und zu einem spannenden Ende zu führen, zum Anderen der herausragenden Charakterzeichnung und den damit verbundenen großartigen Bossfight, die letztlich auch den Kern des Gameplays von "Guns of the Patriots" ausmachen.

    Im Gegensatz zu einem "Snake Eater" bietet MGS4 so auch nur vereinzelt die typischen Schleichpassagen, die, wenn sie denn stattfinden, sich allerdings hervorragend spielen. Dominanter sind beim eigentlichen "Abschlusstitel" der Serie aber die gescripteten Action Passagen und eben die fulminanten Bossbattles, die teils in riesigen Arealen ausgetragen werden und mitunter sehr langwierig und tricky ausfallen können. Für Fans der Serie ist "Guns of the Patriots" so sicherlich ein Fest, gespickt mit verrückten Kojima Ideen und einem überbordenden Metal Gear Pathos, dass es nur so eine Freude ist. Wer Metal Gear jedoch noch nicht kennt, sollte sich vielleicht erst einmal an der HD Collection der Klassiker versuchen. Von 0 auf 100 ist das Metal Gear Universum nämlich kaum zu bewältigen. Zumindest ein "Sons of Liberty" und "Snake Eater" sind als Prolog eigentlich Pflichtprogramm, möchte man an "Guns of the Patriots" letztlich seine Freude haben.    … Expand

    Kojima did it again! History showed again and again, that this stealth series is more than just gaming. It´s an aesthetic and philosophical experience. Just as Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots. This game is so well narrated and designed, that you sometimes loose touch weather it´s a game or a thrilling movie. One of the best games for the PlayStation 3!

    This game had the whole weight of the world on it's shoulders and still proceeded to make Metal Gear Solid Online as a free game mode (at the time). There is nothing to say about 10/10 games. Go in knowing as little as possible about this game and have the time of your life!

It's exceptionally hard to find a game that could justify such an overwhelming amount of non-playable segments when compared to your average gameplay, but because of the attention to detail and genuine love for the series pouring out of every proverbial pixel, you can't help but admire what the team at Kojima Productions has created here. Through countless development troubles (and even death threats) they managed to create one of the most beautiful send-offs to such a legendary character. There may have been some rough points gameplay-wise or narrative-wise, but when looked at as a whole, this game is a product of its time... and a legendary one at that. It serves as a reminder of simpler times in the gaming industry, when creativity could still shine through. Where it wasn't about blindly following trends, but sticking to your vision and trusting that the team you're in will make something worthwhile. Nostalgia is certainly playing a significant role here, but even as a stand-alone title, MGS 4 is a remarkable example of unyielding ambition that resulted in a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

    Guns of the Patriots is almost intimidating in the consistent quality of its ideas, invention, and execution...Even by the series' stratospheric standards, MGS4 is a remarkable high point. [June 2008]

    If you've ever loved any one of the Metal Gear games, or any moments from the series, there will come a moment when MGS 4 will send your spirits soaring. If you've loved them all, well then there'll be many, many more. It’s a masterpiece.

    Guns of the Patriots is a frustrating, fractured game that turns Metal Gear Solid's world upside down several times over, but never changes it.
