Metal Gear Solid 4 (bullet point version)

Bad
- nanomachines
- 2 codec channels, neither as interesting as calling up Para-Medic and asking about eating stuff.
- can only befriend rebels, has little outcome on the game
- length of cutscenes. They're good, but too long.
- Drebin calling you up to tell you why each boss was so crazy
- general depth of the non-Liquid villians (which is to say nonexistent)
- installs for every level, on every playthrough.

Good
- wraps up the whole story, and explains many previously stupid aspects of it well
- lots of guns = lots of funs
- gameplay isn't revolutionary, but it's good
- all four B and B boss battles are awesome and the most varied of any MGS game
- great variations on sneaking in levels 2 and 3
- one amazing on-rails sequence
- the graphics are insanely good
- the sound is insanely good
- the animations are insanely good


so definitely buy it, definitely play it, but it's got some issues.
