The (Big) Bosses of Metal Gear Solid

by Ludwig Kietzmann { Jun 10th 2008 at 3:25PM }

A hero's true worth lies in his ability to overcome the greatest of villains. Metal Gear Solid's slithery protagonist, Snake, has conquered not only the greatest of villains, but the weirdest mustache-twirlers gaming has ever seen.

When will we see some actual reviews of the game?

PojoMofo @ Jun 10th 2008 3:34PM

there are lots of reviews out, but there is an embargo until Thursday on some items

Ooops.. I went to the wrong site. I went to Metareview.com instead of Metacritic.com. I knew better. Please ignore my original post.

PojoMofo @ Jun 10th 2008 3:36PM

Metacritic score is 93 out of 11 reviews so far (damn 80's)

It's criminal to give a MGS game below a 90. And, no Snake's Revenge is Metal Gear and it wasn't that bad.

Yeah unfortunately it's most likely because of the backlash from all the GTA 10s. I've seen this happen a few times now to big games after highly rated games that cause a lot of backlash come out.

lazy paint by numbers style vector to canvas art...

I totally agree, but I don't think it's real - a photoshop job, just a graphic generated for this post. I saw that and I first thought "jeez, weak... someone is getting over real easy with vectormagic.com and outputting gicle'e prints and calling it art." Then I decided it was only a photoshop mock-up.

"It's Photoshop"

Ding Ding Ding, a Winner is You!

I hope this doesn't get perfect 100s. It's almost the exact same gameplay from, say, MGS3:Subsistence, and if that, with the ridiculous amount of play options and replay value, can't get 100, then neither should this.

tmacairjordan87 @ Jun 10th 2008 4:04PM

You should really watch the gameplay videos posted on joystiq a few articles down and then come back and tell us the gameplay is the same as MGS3

Geist @ Jun 10th 2008 4:13PM

I have done what you asked and still see no difference. The only additions appear to be that of an active camo system (which is just MGS3's camo system, automated) and that robot, which looks like it'll only be of use in certain places.

Plus, wow, I hope things get less brown/yellow later in the game.
