So I completed Metal Gear Solid 4 last night and to be honest - what a game.

Not so much a game, more of an extended cut-scene with gameplay parts mixed in but nonetheless it was a gourmet gaming experience. It was genuinely horrible to see what had become of Snake and in the last battle scenes you just don't want him to give up yet.

I'm so glad Hideo Kojima didn't take the easy way out and have Snake discover some super-treatment for him that makes everything rainbows and sunshine at the end.

Solid Snake has to come to and end at some point and now is as good as ever.
