An Epic Conclusion to Solid Snake's Saga!

5 out of 5 starsScore: 100/100

Wow!  If I were to sum this game up with one word, it would be wow!  This game is visually stunning, amazingly epic and the best reason to own a Playstation 3 so far.   Everything about this game is amazing, the graphics, the game play, the story, the finale, this game is the closest thing to bridging movies and games together into one ultimate bundle.   The downside to this is of course the fact that you might spend more time watching amazing cut-scenes rather than actually playing the game.  Now don't get me wrong, the game play is plentiful and is completely awesome, but you do spend the vast majority of your time just watching the game's cut scenes, which is significantly evident towards the latter half of the game.  If you are a fan of the Metal Gear Solid series then this game is a must own.   Of course, even if your not, this game is worth a shot because the control scheme and game play mechanics have received a much needed face lift.  The camera is no longer a big issue and the game moves flawlessly from cut scene to game play with no loading  at all.  This game is a technical powerhouse and if you have an HDTV then this is going to blow you away. 

Pros:  Great Story, Amazing Graphics, Good Game play, Breath-taking Sound Quality


Cons:  Loading times between Acts, Length of Game (It was too awesome to end, took 10-15hrs)
