Metal Gear Solid 4

[Phoenix Gamma]

My buddy got a hold of a leaked copy of MGS4 and powered through the whole game last night. Shit's pretty intense, though the story gets really far fetched in an attempt to explain every loose end in the franchise.

I like the gameplay though. I only got to play a little of it before my friend was itching to finish it, but from what I played, the combat is a lot more fun now. Instead of being spotted and running like a little bitch, I was able to fight off the enemies without wrestling the controls.

Also, the finale is pretty epic. A tad long (long boss fight, really long ending, then long surprise ending) but that sort of thing comes with the territory of being a MGS game.

Definitely the best game in the franchise. Probably the funniest too, since there seems to be more jokes tucked away this time around.
