YesAsia Editorial Description

Solid Snake returns for the final(?) time in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Easily one of the most anticipated games in console gaming history, MGS4 brings Kojima Hideo's legendary video game series to a thematic close, with an aged Solid Snake meeting his destiny. The same acclaimed stealth action gameplay returns, along with the new features and innovations fans expect of the long-running series. Camouflage has been upgraded, and players have new weapons and tools at their disposal, including the "Metal Gear Mk. II", a robotic drone that allows for reconnaissance, communication, and even some combat.

In addition, this rumored final entry in the series brings back numerous fan-favorite characters, including Meryl Silverburgh from the first Metal Gear Solid, as well as old favorites Roy Campbell, Otacon, and the slippery Revolver Ocelot, now called Liquid Ocelot due to his partnership with Solid Snake's deceased twin, Liquid Snake. MGS4 promises a complex, compelling story wrapping up many of the running storylines and themes from previous Metal Gear games. Extensive cutscenes and voice-acting flesh out Kojima's cyber-militaristic world, with time given to new story elements as well as some recap, in case the several wait between MGS games has players feeling a little forgetful.

The hero of the original Metal Gear games, Snake returns five years after the "Big Shell Incident" depicted in Metal Gear Solid 2. The world has changed to the point where wars are openly fought for money and power, with PMCs (Private Military Companies) acting on behalf of business interests and the highest bidders. Liquid Ocelot now controls five of these PMCs, amassing a large enough army to invade the United States itself. With the balance of power once again at stake, Roy Campbell calls upon old soldier Solid Snake to return to the battlefield, with the assignment to terminate Liquid Ocelot before it's too late.

The Special Edition of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots includes the game disc, a special Blu-ray disc containing two making-of documentaries, and a CD soundtrack, all contained in a limited edition box with artwork by series character designed Shinkawa Yoji.

Not the Japanese version Customer Review Rated Bad 4 - 4 out of 10
Even though yesasia makes it seem like this is the japanese limited edition (including a tin case), it is the asian version (without the tin case). I guess this is the case for most of yesasia releases, but the picture is quite misguiding.

If you are indeed looking for a Japanese version (as I was), you shouldn't be buying this. If you just want to play the game in Japanese, this is a nice, cheap release.

To be worthy Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
I just want to say one thing that Konami doesn't know how to do business.

I must say that if you guys want this game to be worthy, then in order to expand the lifespan of the game, just play the game on "hard" difficulty level from the start.

Devil May Cry 4 was a very good game, it also available on the xbox360, that is one of the smartest things that Capcom do is to selective market.

Unlike MGS4 only target at PS3, although the game is greate but how many people who own a PS3 would really buy MGS4? The PlayStation market has change not every persons would buy the PS3. All I said is a risk of loosing production cost and high R&D and i supose they will have a negative cash flow in small period.

But I guset Konami is just testing the market. if it good they will launch a training game just like before.
