I’m not very far into Metal Gear Solid 4 at all, so this is just a first impression kind of thing… but so far… it’s not really doing it for me.

It’s definitely a good game, it’s got gorgeous graphics, it just hasn’t grabbed me yet. It hasn’t caused that feeling like “Oh man, I have to hurry up and finish whatever I’m doing so I can go play MGS4”. I caught up on the convoluted story of the games over the past couple of weeks, so that doesn’t have anything to do with it. I have heard that the game just starts off boring for the first couple of hours, so maybe I just haven’t gotten past that yet.

I’ll give it some more time today and tomorrow, and revisit my thoughts on it on Monday.

On a side note, for the last few months since I got my new cell phone, my primary ring-tone has been Snake’s Codec bleep-bleep. Now whenever Otacon calls Snake in the game, I reach for my phone, and my dogs start barking.
