MGS4 reviews coming in

[Angrist]

Eurogamer (http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=143797): 8/10.
Seems to be a love or hate thingy.
You're sorry to see Snake go. But should you be? Guns of the Patriots is a frustrating, fractured game that turns Metal Gear Solid's world upside down several times over, but never changes it. It just burrows deeper into what fans love and detractors hate than ever before, and it will make few converts. 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

[Aladuf]

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

[Renwood]

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.

Seems like IGN UK loves it then.

.x grading scales are so fucking stupid

what Jim said.

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

[DarkMaster]

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 (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=189543&skip=yes) for real?

[Bond]

The current metacritic (http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps3/metalgearsolid4gunsofthepatriots) 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.

If we can't, sweet Jesus.
