So last night when I was playing Metal Gear Solid 4, I finally beat the level “Outer Haven – Ship Bow”. The mission is, Snake is on a huge enemy ship. At the starting point, you have to reach toward the other side of the ship without being seen by enemies. It was tough for me to get to other side of the ship, it took me a long while to figure out how to do it without being caught by enemies. If you get caught or get seen by an enemy called a Frog, where it’s these women that dress up in sniper equipment, you’ve got to battle a bunch of them to survive.

That’s the point of the Metal Gear Solid series, you play a character name Snake and on the map, they give you a location where you need to go, and you need to get to that certain spot on the map without being caught by enemies. There are all kinds of different enemies throughout the game. And that’s what makes this game so addicting and fun.

I’ve got just a few more missions in the game to get through, then I have to fight the final boss, and then I’m done. It is a sick game though, I think I love it more than “Grand Theft Auto IV”. I should have Metal Gear Solid 4 beat next week or maybe even this weekend if I can.

I’m almost done with Metal Gear Solid 4, I’ve been playing it most of the day yesterday on Sunday and now I’m just starting the last act, I’m on Act 5 “Old Sun” which is the final level of the game. I’ve just got to beat through that level and then I have to fight the final boss, the Big Boss. Then I am done.

The game is hands down amazing though. Incredible graphics, good acting by the voices of the characters and incredible story. The game is very long though and it has more cut scene storylines more than the action. The game is so much fun, it is challenging and difficult.

My favorite thing about the game is toward the end of Act 4, Solid Snake sleeps on a plane and goes into a dream sequence where you get to play the original “Metal Gear” game made in 1987 for MSX2 computer that was made back into those days. In the original “Metal Gear” 1987 game, the graphics aren’t so high tech of course but still fun.

After playing this game Metal Gear Solid 4, this really makes me want to buy a Playstation 2 so I can play the rest of the Metal Gear Solid games. A Playstation 2 would only cost $100 so I can get one easily. You can’t play Playstation 2 games on a 40 GB PS3, but you can play PS1 games on it though.

I hear there is a Metal Gear Solid live action movie in the works which is good. All I heard is that Kurt Wimmer is confirmed to direct the Metal Gear Solid live action film, that’s all. No casting has been made, but rumour has it, I’ve heard that Christian Bale will play Solid Snake doing google research. I can easily see Ian McKellen playing the main villain Liquid Ocelot. The Metal Gear Solid movies would be great if made right.

The Metal Gear video games has intense storytelling, lots of cool characters, and monsters, cool action and good fighting, they would make great live action movies.

What game will I play next after I beat this one? I’ll probably move on to “The Bourne Cospiracy” ’cause I’ve never played that one yet. I could move on to “Dead Space” next, but I want to try beating some of these other games I haven’t played yet first.
