Take for example the new twist to Snake's classic on-site procurement orders, which plays a major role within the title. From the first action sequence in the Middle East where you and a squad of militiamen fight against PMCs, to escorting Meryl and her Rat Patrol squad through a fierce gunfight with The Frogs (Liquid's private army), to the climactic battle at the end of the title, you'll be amazed at the sheer depth included within the game. Not only are they well balanced and quite layered, each one adds to the scope of MGS4, which can be considered epic. The incredible part about Metal Gear Solid 4 is there are tons of additional features added to this title, and even when you run into a system or mechanic that you wouldn't think would fit in the Metal Gear Universe, Kojima and his team have figured out a way to make it blend seamlessly with the gameplay, which easily allays any fears or concerns you have. Fortunately, there are plenty of them to go around in Metal Gear Solid 4, which is easily the deepest and most expansive title in the series.įans familiar with previous Metal Gear Solid games are aware that each title has introduced new gameplay mechanics for Snake to take advantage of. To accomplish his toughest mission yet, Solid Snake will need to pull a couple of new tricks from his camouflaged sleeves. This is much more harmful than his multiple pack-a-day smoking addiction, making him physically older than his years and hampering his movements every so often. Or perhaps we should say Old Snake? You see, the legendary soldier is suffering from accelerated aging due to cellular degeneration. That's definitely easier said than done, as Ocelot has surrounded himself with a group of deadly comrades - including a quartet of deadly females known as the Beauty and the Beast Corps who appear to be half woman, half machine - to eliminate Solid Snake. Of course, he has a more direct task that takes advantage of his specialized skills: he must find and assassinate Liquid Ocelot, who has become the head of five of the largest PMCs in the world. Snake is initially inserted into the war zone of the Middle East undercover as a UN PMC inspector to gauge how the situation on the ground is being handled by troops there. Campbell to save the world from one last threat.
This is the setting that Solid Snake has been called out of retirement for: one final mission issued by Col. With such a chaotic environment, not even civilians are safe from the constant fighting, as skirmishes can break out at any point. These mercenaries constantly try to prove their effectiveness on the battlefield to gain even more contracts, which causes more and more destruction as nanomachine-enhanced soldiers clash in cities, in buildings and on the streets. War has become its own self-sustaining industry, replacing the overall global economy with the contracts of private military corporations, or PMCs, that sell their services to the highest bidder. Set six years in the future, war and conflict are no longer a sporadic occurrence with hot spots around the globe instead, the entire planet is engulfed in constant battle. In fact, in many ways, it's precisely the one that Solid Snake and Otacon have been hoping to avoid.
The world of Metal Gear Solid 4 is quite a bleak one.
