MGS4 joins the PS3 Platinum range News
PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese
Konami will add Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots to the discounted Platinum PS3 range of games from 5th March.
Hideo Kojima's beefy action game will now carry an RRP of GBP 19.99 or EUR 29.95. MGS4 also comes bundled with Metal Gear Online, which leaves few reasons not to splash out on the game.
Metal Gear Solid 4 brought the Solid Snake story to a close last year, and picked up tip top scores across the board. Yes, 8 out of ten is a tip top score in our book - read our review for the full rundown.

That game deserved nothing greater than an 8. For 20 smackers you'd be a fool to miss it though.

8/10 is fine and I loved playing through MGS4, its simply not for everyone
now please fishing for ad hits EG and get off the 'we're so hip because we give games 8/10' train, fair enough you score the games as you see them, but stop making 8/10 some kind of adorable catch phrase (like in the Cliffy B interview) |

Giggling at EG purile attempts to get more flames/post counts!
Sure second that, as much as I loved MSG4 as being one of the more memorable game of 2008, but 10/10? Nope!! |

People are so touchy on this subject, I can't blame them for poking a little fun. I'm sure I wouldn't be able to resist ;)
Surprised that it's in the platinum range already though. Thinking about it though, all fans of the series would have bought it up straight away without a second thought - or an 8/10 review from one site to put them off. Now it's £20, everyone who wasn't sure if it was their cup of tea may well consider a purchase now. Although, if they weren't sure it was their thing in the first place, they'll probably hate it as it's quite the acquired taste! In my opinion anyway... |

8/10 was far too generous a score for this tosh, Eg is so biased, I'll never trust you again!

So going for another 2000+ posts eh? Still think it's one of the worst reviews I've ever read, and the score has nothing to do with it. ................ +1 One of the most disjointed messes I've ever had the misfortune to read. |

Will definitely get it eventually, especially at that price. But MGS games require serious dedication and I've been buying much more than I can play the last few years (that's the problem with cheap imports: At those low prices a deal often seems too good to pass up on and in the end you spend just as much but on more games while play time available doesn't increase).

As good value as the Platinum range is methinks most retailers would be selling this game around the £20 anyway or a bundle of a similar price.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there is an official EG 8/10 tee shirt, but I can't find the link at the moment. I might even have considered buying it, but can't face buying something rated less than 9/10 ;) |

I hope it is ported, so that I can enlist 360 owners into my army of MGS4 hating trolls. Muwahahaha!

"Anybody know if we can expect a subsistence-style rerelease soon?"
That's another reason I haven't got it yet. Though I never played any of the additions of part 2 and part 3 (except of course for the enhanced camera in the main game of the latter) I always want to get the 'full' version. Same with DVDs. Always get the 2-disc version and never watch the 2nd one. Apparently those stupid marketing ploys work with me... |

"David Jaffe thinks Kojima ruined the ending. He has a point."
Yes, he also yes depending on when you ask him it's his fave game of the year. It's not even on the EG top 50. No MGS has ever been on the EG top 50. Personally, I don't think they like it much. I'm not saying it's a bad thing though, if you don't like something you don't like it. |

Kojima is a moron. He wishes he was some kind of hollywood director with his shit story, crap dialogue, cutscenes and lacklustre gameplay.
He isn't even fit to lick the boots of Uwe Bolle.

Now, now,I think that's a bit of an overstatement. I'd probably be able to make movies as good as Uwe Boll does. I guess if Kojima wanted to be in Hollywood, he would be welcomed with open arms. So far, he doesn't seem so inclined. |

@ Les
I'm the same as you man, always wanting the "full" version so buy the 2 disc or tin case version. I need to stop it. It's becoming very expensive for something I never watch or use. Currently I'm eyeing up pre ordering the slightly more expensive DOW2 tin version. You win again marketing!

Lame approach at garnering hits from flamers ("but still 8 out of 10")... really EG, you can do better!

At this stage I think EG are simply taking the pish out of it. Not funny anymore EG!! Get a life!! you remind me of fanboys!!
Im not saying i disagree with the 8/10 score but i simply can't accept you acting like children and bringing it up at every chance. You have lost a lot of credibility over the whole MGS4 issue. At least from me. |

Actually finished this game yesterday by coincidence.
Based on the first couple of levels I would not even give MGS4 7/10 but I think the gameplay surprises and production values probably push it up to a 9 for me. I must be one of the few people that actually like cut scenes in games. But... in... MGS4... why... Are... they... so... slow....... |
