So after a couple of busy weeks, travelling and helping my sister move i finally got a chance to complete MGS4!
it just finished. just now. finally. after.. .a lot of cut scenes.
Now i understood fully before i played the game that there were a lot of cutscenes in the game and i knew some of them were very long. What i didn't realise was the percentage of the game that was cutscenes. I don't think i would have minded if i got to play the game a bit more but i felt like i had to watch a lot of things i would have rather played. In fact, this morning when i picked up the controller, i got to run down one corridor filled with little round.. arm..o..bots... for 5 minutes and then watch a cutscene that lasted... maybe... 45? then i got to have a fight with a guy.. hand to hand... which lasted 10 minutes.. and then... over an hour and a half of credits and cutscenes. so actually... i played the game for 15 minutes and sat waiting for it to finish. Niky walked in on me playing and said "you know, every time i see this game it is a cutscene, i have never actually seen you play it". Kinda sums up my point.
My conclusions are as follows.
1. I wish the game let me play more OR had less cutscenes and more action OR was longer so i could play more.
2. what i did get to play was great fun and i wish it had been longer
3. Act 2 and 4 were awesome. I loved them.
4. Act 1,3 and 5 i didn't enjoy so much. I wish the majority of the game had been more 2 and 4.
In closing. I did enjoy MGS4 and i can see it has great bits but, i have to say "it's not really for me".
Now if i look at my list... my next game is... METROID PRIME!
I will be playing the Wii version as i have the trilogy disk with all 3 Metroid games on. although i do have shadows of the damned and Alice ready to play.. might have a quick go on each of them next week.
3 games done! go me!
