Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

Released2008
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is the final canonical Metal Gear game to feature Solid Snake as the main character. The gameplay of the previous games have been kept along with some new features, such as the ability to roll on your back and also to hide in bins scattered around the environment. Most of the story and the relationship between the characters are explained through cut-scenes with a considerable length, so knowledge of the prior games is recommended to fully understand the story. The game also features a complex multiplayer mode entitled Metal Gear Online with some original missions based on the stealth aspects of the single-player games.

About This Game

By 2014 the world has descended into chaos, locked in a perpetual "war economy" that keeps conflict burning endlessly. It is a system that thrives on private military companies — the five largest of which, together rivaling the entire United States Army, all answer to a single parent corporation, Outer Heaven, commanded by Liquid Ocelot. A fusion of Liquid Snake's consciousness and Revolver Ocelot's body, Liquid is once again bent on world domination. To stop him, Solid Snake — now called Old Snake, his body ravaged by rapid accelerated aging — is sent to assassinate Liquid Ocelot, as a personal favor to Roy Campbell.
