Title: The greatest game I've ever played
Product review: People have gotten pretty hyperbolic about this game, so I will avoid that and keep this short: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is the greatest game I have ever played. It's not perfect, but in the face of everything this game is, everything it achieves, to make anything of them just seems petty. This series is the Watchmen of gaming, and Hideo Kojima is its Alan Moore. I finished the game in two 16+ hour sessions and it was one of the greatest weekends of my life. I'm still at a loss for words. The gameplay, the graphics and sound, the story - my God the story. If I could compare it to anything, playing MGS4 for the first time was akin to going from the Genesis era to Final Fantasy VII. Although many, many games have come and gone that are far superior to FFVII on all fronts, nothing had come close to the visceral and emotion experience of playing that game for the first time. Nothing until this past weekend, that is.
