Vid-splosion of Metal Gear Solid 4 gameplay


We've placed several recently released gameplay videos of Metal Gear Solid 4 after the break. We didn't notice any spoilers in the clips, but we also don't consider Snake being old or ... well, we didn't see anything megaton spoilerific in there.

Of course, if the MGS hardcores do happen to check out the videos, we're quite sure they'll be commenting on whatever player was recorded for these clips. Seriously, even someone who knows next to nothing about MGS might scream at the screen and try to backseat drive the guy playing.

Rumor: European mags gush over Metal Gear Solid 4

News flash: Europeans love Solid Snake. We'll bet you're surprised to read that, so we'll wait until you've regained consciousness to move on ... Okay, good. CVG is reporting via the ever-reliable NeoGAF forums (we think it's this thread, although that's unconfirmed) that the following scores have been given to Metal Gear Solid 4:
  • PlayStation Official Magazine (UK): 10/10
  • PlayStation Official Magazine (US): 10/10
  • PlayStation Official Magazine (Italy): 10/10
  • PlayStation Official Magazine (Dutch): 9.6/10
  • Level (Sweden): 10/10
  • Joypad (France): 19/20
  • Jeuxvideo Magazine (France): 18/20 [Update: Jeuxvideo has told us that it's MGS4 issue isn't even finished yet!]
As of this writing, the only confirmed score is the POM UK via Metacritic. And though we wouldn't be surprised if these ended up being the review scores (or pretty close to them) – the MGS brand has been known to rake in high numbers – it's just a forum rumor for now.
