Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, for the PS3, is the most technically stunning video game ever made. It’s also a fine example of storytelling prowess within its medium, combining gameplay and narrative so slickly and beautifully that it’s impossible to extricate one from the other. It’s likely you will emerge awestruck from your first play-through, wishing the experience would continue yet nonetheless satisfied with its conclusion. It’s difficult not to sound hyperbolic when discussing MGS4 because every part of its design seemingly fulfills its vision, without compromise. There is no halfway.

Not sure I would say it’s the best game ever, but it certainly looks great. It is, no doubt, one of the most polished and detailed games I have seen:

I don’t know how the gaming experience will be once I have completed the first run of it though. I hope it has some replay value, and not just good looks.
