MGS4 reviews coming in

Eurogamer: 8/10.
Seems to be a love or hate thingy.

It's a crying shame, given how many genuinely classic gaming moments there are here, given the countless exquisite creative touches, but Metal Gear Solid 4 is its own worst enemy. You could not ask for a funnier, cleverer, more ambitious or inspired or over-the-top conclusion to the Metal Gear Solid series, but it's definitely time to move on.

As long as it's the same love/hate kind of thing that plagued MGS2. I loved the shit out of MGS2. :D

Yeah, Sony/MGS fanboys over on GAF had a little bit of a meltdown when they saw Eurogamers score... it was...pathetic.

Disappointing that it doesn't bridge the gap to new players. I already love the series. More of the same, while not revolutionary, will be welcomed with open arms.

what Jim said.

How the fuck is 9.6 worse than 9.8? I mean, really.

You picked the one "bad" review amongst the many 10/10's, I think it's mostly a "love it", thus far.

Are the 90 minute cutscenes for real?

The current metacritic rating is a 9.7. Seems very positive.

If I can pause them, we have a deal.

I'll wait for Yahtzee to give honest feedback. If it's anything like MGS2 or MGS3 it's probably a B- type game. Fun, but not perfect and starting to ware thin.

It was the first one I found and I usually like EG's reviews.
