Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (Limited Edition) (Sony Playstation 3, 2008)

Summer '08 I rented MGS4 and at first I thought the controls, manipulation of the character was difficult. As I played on it grew more appealing, the graphics, game play and the story. I completed the first Act and then turned the game back in because it was too good. I had played it for hours, but then school (fall, college) started and my plate was full.
I bought the game brand new on EBAY but overpaid. What I recommend doing is going to Gamestop.com, search local for MGS4 SPECIAL EDITION and you could probably find it for $69.99 plus tax. I haven't played the game, for ascetic purposes. I want to be free of school/work obligations and want a surround sound system. I have a 1080p HD and i'd like to take advantage of the Dolby Surround Sound. Prob won't finish playing the game until the holidays or graduation. This game is excellent, i have no prior MGS experience. You don't need to know the entire background to enjoy this title.

Very good collector's set, include the game, blu-ray bonus, sound track CD, artbook and a saga vol.2... The price should be high but I got it regular on eBay. I heard that it was sold out at the very first day to release at GameStop. Very lucky~

Marking the return of Hideo Kojima's legendary tactical espionage action series, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots features a cinematic experience and visual masterpiece that will redefine this landmark franchise as a revolutionary game for the PLAYSTATION3 system. The game is the final chapter in the saga of Solid Snake that sends him around the world in pursuit of his arch nemesis, Liquid Ocelot. Armed with new gadgets and abilities, Solid Snake must shift the tides of war into his favor, using the chaos of the battlefield to infiltrate deep into enemy territory. In his globetrotting final mission, Snake must sneak deep into enemy locations in the Middle East, South America, and other corners of the earth to foil Liquid Ocelot's. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots includes Metal Gear Online "Starter Pack", which is the full and complete multiplayer component of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.

Another stellar edition to the Metal Gear Solid Saga. A phenomenal single-player game that combines the very best of gameplay, and plot and character development. Snake has never been more bitterly heroic. As a hero on the verge of a literally breaking down physically, Snake seeks to rectify the sins of the past by wiping his and Liquid's gene sequence off the face of the planet.

Predicting, with a high degree of accuracy, a heated political climate that is brought on by the proliferation of Private Military Corporations and pulling technologies from DNA research, Nanotechnology, and organic/machine hybrids, the player is immersed into an extremely modern and realistic world that sets the stage(that closely resembles the world we are about to set foot into tomorrow) for the titanic struggle between Liquid Snake and Solid Snake to take place.

I love the MGS series and each game in the series has gotten exponentially wittier, bigger, and better. So naturally I had very high expectations of the first MGS game that would harness the powers of the PS3, but this game blew my mind. It has set pushed the limits for the power of video games as a media to tell a story with depth that rivals classic novels and films.

While the Multiplayer could have used more work, it is still fun, unique, and easy to lose oneself in.

I have nothing but good things to say about this game and I HIGHLY recommend it!

This is by far the best game ever, gameplay is great for a stealth game and 3rd person shooter. The story gets you emotionaly hooked, and its great to see all the characters all together for one last mission. You know what they say:
"if you want to end it, end it with a BANG" And Kojima deffinently followed that saying for MGS4. The limited edition packaging content was great, but the soundtrack was half of the origional and thats sort've disapointing. But you geat a great documentary on a blu-ray disc, and most importantly the game with Solid(Old)Snake in all of his glory for one last mission.
KUDOS TO KOJIMA, FTW!!!!!!!!!!!
