Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

Going into it, you know it's a Platinum game. And Platinum is known for balls-out action games. Boy does Rising fit right in there. The combat system works extremely well, the graphics are quite nice, and everything runs at an excellent framerate. The story might come off as trivial and dumb, but you have to go into it viewing it as a parody and deconstruction of the Metal Gear Solid mythos. It takes itself extremely seriously but it jokes about it the whole way through, chuckling and nudging you with its elbow, whispering, "You see this s***?" The music is a perfect match to it, blaring cheesy vocal speed metal (think Dragonforce) at you that I normally wouldn't be really into. But in the context of the game it is SO excellent. I plan to buy the soundtrack sometime and blast it in the car and get every speeding ticket there is. The cut scenes are quite mild in length for a Metal Gear game. I honestly loved every minute of every MGS cut scene, but can see how they might not appeal to some. Here they never over-stay their welcome. The voice acting is well done and campy, and animated actors on-screen really have a lot of personality despite their thin backstories. The game is a bit short, being around 6 hours long, but here's the thing: if you beat it, you're going to want to play it again. Probably on a higher difficulty. The combat system is so fluid and fun and it's framed so well in the silly story that you just can't get enough. If you go into it for a Metal Gear Solid game, it might not be your thing. But if you want an A+ action game within the MGS universe, you won't be disappointed.

So for a gamer who has played quite a few games with swords in them, I can tell you this is one of the few that has pretty good swordplay. There is only one series (or 2 games) that seemed better, and that series was the Jedi Knight franchise (Jedi Knight: Jedi Outcast, and Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy). This game beats them in graphics but the sword play could possibly have been slightly better though I know its hard since very few game companies have been able to do sword play that well in the past. I will admit iv NEVER been interested in the Metal Gear franchise. The only reasons this game got my attention was cause the main character always seemed cool and bad ass (as well as funny in some cases) and also the sword play looked really good. He mainly only uses a sword for everything. He also has an ability to where you can slow down the perception of time in a way and be able to pin point which directions you want to slice. Then it speeds up and he does it quite fast. You even fight giant robot things which can be quite fun. It took a little time getting used to how to do some stuff but once I figured it out the game because quite fun. Pros: 1. Good swordplay 2. Cool graphics 3. Some bits of humor thrown in 4. Metal Gear type stuff (if your into that stuff) 5. A cool character you play as Cons: 1.Metal Gear type stuff (if your not into that stuff) 2. Cut scenes can get in the way sometimes, or having to slow down and walk while your on a call with someone between missions. 3. Can be a bit difficult at first until you figure out how everything works. 4. The final boss battle can be difficult until you figure it out. 5. Doesn't look like we will get a sequel anytime soon. :( So for a game it might not be the best out there. But as a sword game its pretty darn good. Even if your not a fan of the metal gear franchise if your looking for a great sword fighting game you might want to pick this game up. There aren't many out there that have done a better job with sword fighting unfortunately. Well that's my review hope it helped.

Okay, jokes and memes aside, this game is killer! It's an absolute blast to play if you enjoy hack-and-slash or character action games. The combat is snappy and responsive, and while the game doesn't do a good job teaching the player how to parry attacks, everything feels so fluid once you get all the techniques down. Something about chopping robots into itty-bitty pieces makes it a great ride for blowing off steam. The story itself, while goofier for a Metal Gear game, still has some very heavy topics that leaves the player thinking about by the end of the experience. I won't spoil anything, but the final few cutscenes of the game are amongst the most relatable and accurate in today's times. If anything, I was able to write a full-fledged college essay off it and got an A, so use that as a measure if need be. :D And, of course, there's the music. So many good rock tracks scatter this adventure, and not a single one of them is bad! The lyrics themselves also flesh out the world and the characters they represent, which is a nice touch as well. Overall, if you've got the change to spare for this game and are even slightly interested, buy it! It'll be a decision you won't regret!

Good game

Consiglio

メタルギアの番外編、雷電が主役で英語版になります。英語版では血が赤いです。言語は違っても楽しさは変わりません。メタルギアを初めてプレイする人には物語としては過去作品のパラレルと考えて下さい。

Runs on uk ps3, game is incredibly fun and fast paced has the signature wackiness of a kojima game with ridiculously over the top action to compliment, great game, arrived well and seems to be brand new, despite the game being over 10 years old, very impressed

This game is a ton of fun, and is one of my favourite games of all time now. If you like character action games, or just a fan of over the top action then this game is for you! Pros: -The cyborgs. Our hero Raiden and the boss cyborgs all look very, very cool. -Story. The story isn't the best, but it is pure fun, full of memorable dialogue and a one particular "OH MY GOD" moment that's more relevant now than ever. With the current political situation in the USA I think it's actually better now than at the time of release. -The music. Good lord, the music. High energy rock songs full of great guitar work. All the boss fight tracks exists as an instrumental version, and a vocal version with singing that plays as the fight reaches climax. The vocal versions are all worthy of listening to if you like rock music. -Price. Seriously, the game is very affordable now. -The cutting. The cutting enemies gimmick is tons of fun, and turning enemies into literal mince meat never gets old. Still technically impressive. Cons: -Graphics. The game is old and from the last generation of consoles and looks the part. Characters and effects all still look good, but the environment has really aged due to not looking great for the time (so the game wouldn't break from strain when you dice up enemies).

Es un buen título de acción, aunque no tiene nada que ver con los Metal Gear originales. Lo único que flojea algo, en mi opinión, es la historia, enrevesada y algo aburrida. Aunque eso también pasa con otros juegos de la serie.
