Metal Gear Solid 4 review

How should I start this? I am just too filled with awe to start reviewing this game. I think MGS1 is the best, MGS3 was near the best, and MGS2 was ridiculously messed up, but was still good. MGS4 is not mentioned. I believe it is in a league of its own. A certain league of awesome. Where should I start?
GAMU PLAYUZAR:
Haha! Totally got you, I won't write in wannabe Japanese writing. But seriously,
Gameplay:
I think gameplay is a very great awesome aspect of this game. To be frank, it is just awesome. From the heated stress of a stray mortar explosion missing you by inches to slowly stalking a building infested with mines to avoiding contact with a very heavy ring of patrolling troops to a Stryker chase to running away from Gekkos destroying a marketplace to following a resistance member secretly to a bike chase to- you get the idea about the thrilling moments.

But what also made this game are the choices. You could sneak to the destination like nobody's business, ala the previous MGS games. You could take a hiding place and make your trusty Mk.II stun everyone silently. You could open your heart to the rebels and take out the PMC troopers. Or, you could completely join the battle with the rebels. If you're a real ass, you could just kill everyone, but beware, no man has done this alive on the harder difficulties. But, pussies who play on Liquid Easy do this all the time.

Graphics:
The graphics for this game are truly phenomenal. Infact, I wasn't really viewing MGS4 as a game, I was viewing it as a blu-ray HD movie because the graphics are so fucking premium. No other game has given me as much visual pleasure as this one.

You must see to believe. This is one of those games that just speak for themselves. The graphics are too hard to describe. Shall I say, too awesome.


Story:

Spoilers!!

The story is what makes this game come alive.
It is basically one of the best stories in the whole history of gaming. At first when I played this game I was excited. I was extremely hyped at the "War has changed" new theme. However I was disappointed. It was like this game has turned into an FPS. However, as you got your gear and Mk. II, the game went uphill. The rebel friendliness thing made the game even more uphill. The Drebin Points system was awesome. With the Meryl/Johnny reunion and FROGS fight, the developers just reached the limit of awesome. It just kept getting better. The Beauty and the Beast debut was just awesome.
