Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, is a next-gen experience complete with top-of-the-line graphics and surround sound designed for the Sony PlayStation 3. Featuring the most revealing display of Kojima Production's premier title, MSG4 details the world where Snake must under go his final mission. In a world overrun by private military companies (PMCs), wars are no longer fought over nations or ideologies. Instead, the wars of the future are micro-managed by overarching PMCs, right down to the bullet. New gadgets and abilities fuel Snake's journey deep into the enemy domains of the Middle East, South America, and beyond. New gear includes "Metal Gear Mk. II," the ultimate reconnaissance tool, and "Solid Eye," which gives Snake real-time information on enemies and his surroundings.

MGS4 is a next-generation adventure set in the aftermath of MGS2: Sons of Liberty. The concept behind the latest Metal Gear Solid project is "no place to hide," and this edition in the series will force Snake into unexpected circumstances with an all-new storyline that breaks away in some ways from the previous MGS franchise entries. We don't want to spoil it for you, but, producer Hideo Kojima did reveal some very juicy tidbits about the game and the storyline when it was first announced at E3 of 2006. "Until now," said Kojima, "we've released two entries of the MSX2 Metal Gear series, and three entries in the Metal Gear Solid series. Add to this Portable Ops, and you get a total of six titles. All mysteries will be cleared up in Metal Gear Solid 4."
Kojima was very clear about the finality of MSG4, leaving gamers to wonder, "Will Snake die?!" When asked if the story will come to this sort of an end, Kojima responded without the slightest bit of vagueness, "It will come to an end." The MGS4 E3 trailer showed a number of characters from the Metal Gear and Metal Gear Solid histories. This final installment is sure to deliver loads of cameos, in fact, it is rumored that nearly all the characters from the series will make an appearance.
In addition to a return of classic Metal Gear Solid characters, the gameplay systems from part three are also expected to make a comeback. The camouflage system from part three will make it into MGS4, with the addition of "OctoCamo," Snake's most advanced stealth suit to date. The name appears to be formed from the words "Octopus" and "camoflauge," and players will be awestruck by the chameleon-like camo that changes with the surroundings. OctoCamo allows Snake to blend in with his environment as it digitally manifests nearby textures in real time. Think if it this way, if Snake is standing next to a wall worn out with holes, he too will appear to be riddled with holes. It has also been revealed that MGS4 will have online play, but no specifics have been released. Although very little information is known about the game's visuals, rumor has it that MGS4 is expected to be the finest representation of console graphics on the PS3, and it is expected that they will just get better and better as the game nears its release date.
- Although little is known, MGS4 is being touted as the final installment in the Metal Gear Solid series.
- Chameleon-like camouflage system, Octacamo, blends Snake into his surroundings.
- Loads of characters from previous Metal Gear Solid installments will return in this final chapter.
- Slated for simultaneous worldwide release in June 2008, Konami has released very few details about MGS4.
- Built for the PS3, the game is expected to be the finest representation of the console's graphics

Great Graphics and Gameplay!
If you are a fan of Metal Gear, you will by far love this game! The graphics are amazing, however the cinematic scenes can get long, boring, and tedious.
The gameplay is fun, and overall, I would highly recommend this game.

Simply Amazing
The game was amazing! Incredible graphics and detail to every little thing. Wraps up the story in every sense possible. Straightens out all the twists and turns of the series. If you've ever played MGS before you need this one! I've been a huge fan, played them all. And this is not one to be left out of the collection. Typical MGS style with cutscenes, but if you're a true fan you will appreciate them. Especially with the flashback scenes to previous games. Even if youre not a huge fan, the long cutscenes will give you the entire story line. Sad to see the story end, but this is one incredible way to do it! Top 3 best games of all time!

Fantastic Game
This game is certainly one of the best games that I have ever had the pleasure of playing. You do not have to have played the other metal gears in order to enjoy this particular game. It is a fantastic game as a stand alone. There are some benefits from having played some of the previous installments. This particular installment does use some of the previous ideas from the other installments but it tells you enough information as you go to make the plot followable even without all the installments. Keep in mind that Metal Gear Solid games are not like the average run and gun game. So please only buy it if you like the game type that it is. If you fear that you may not like it I would suggest you pickup MGS3 before you purchase this one since you can get that game to see if you like the style for a much cheaper price first. But if you understand that this game is not a fps and not purely a sneaking game and that it requires you to make the choice as to when and where you use these tactics you will trully enjoy it. I would say having beaten the game to completion that it does have replayability and is a must buy for PS3 owners.

One of the greatest epic games
The story is that snake is an old man and hes about to die, but he's the only one that can stop revolver ocelot/solidus. during his chase he meets draken, an arms dealer, and radien, from MGS 2. The game tries to explain some of the most far fetched parts of the story. It does a good job explaining thses things but at times I just want to play the game.
The size of the game is huge, so what they did was to split the game into 5 chapters/parts and after each chapters/parts you would have to install the next chapters/parts. Each intall takes 10 mins. doing this would lessen the total size of the game on the hard drive.
The gameplay it self was improved compared to the previous 3. One of the improvements was the auto-camo suit. where the suit automaticly picks what camo colors to use. Another improvement was how you upgrade and obtian new weapons. Within 20 minutes into the game you'll meet draken, the arms dealer. He can take the weapons you've collected in exchange for credits for upgrades or purchuse new weapons. This was great for boss battles when your out of ammo or when you need something with a kick.
When your finished with the game stick around till the end. I wasn't too surpised what they did at the final end of the game.

Worth it for MGO alone.
Metal Gear Solid taught me all about "hyping". Up until the days I played PSX I used to go to my local videostore as a child and rent videogames with my mom. At that age my choices were based on how cool the cover art looked for the title or if it was a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cartridge. When I picked up that issue of Gamepro back in 97' and saw what this little known stealth game Metal Gear Solid was turning into it became almost an addiction to research upcoming killer apps, wherever I could find the info. Now by todays standards it seems to be the norm to find hype every where you turn for games like Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots or GTA IV. Guns of the patriots is a must have for any GAMER or metal gear fan alike. The action sequences are varied and can carry over much replay value. The story is a bit convoluted yet doesn't hamper the gameplay one bit. The online feauture; Metal Gear Online is worth the price of admission alone and continues to be updated to this DAY! Just expect to pay for the major add-ons in MGO. I want to keep this short so I can go back to playing the game but if your just starting out in the PS3 game Metal Gear is entry level yet hardcore for any gamer.

Braun Pulsonic System 9595 with LCD Screen
Braun Pulsonic System 9595 with LCD Screen

Pulsonic is the "first of a new kind"--a new top-of-the-line shaving system from Braun and a revolution in shaving technology. It has been uncompromisingly engineered to capture more hair with every stroke, even problem hairs, for Braun's closest and most comfortable shave ever.
Braun Pulsonic's motor sends over 10,000 micro-vibrations per minute through the shaver head to gently stimulate the skin, causing it to ripple, which helps capture and shave more hairs with every stroke. The hair is shaved with high-speed precision using leading edge Gillette Blade Technology. For added closeness and comfort, Braun Pulsonic incorporates a Sensitive Flexing Head, which follows the contours of a man's face with twice the pivoting angle of other Braun shavers, and shaves hard-to-reach areas using touch sensitive foils that respond to the slightest change in skin surface. Additionally, Braun Pulsonic is the world's first shaver brand with an Energy Star-qualified battery charger, which recognizes the shaver's energy-efficient design and Braun's commitment to environmental sustainability.
Braun Pulsonic features the world's most intelligent Clean & Renew system, which automatically cleans, lubricates, dries and charges the shaver at the touch of a button. It features a new Fast Clean mode (available only in the 9595 model) that cleans the shaver in just 25 seconds, which is ideal for men on the go. For occasions when the Clean & Renew system is not available, the Pulsonic shaver head can be washed under running water. The shaver also incorporates a modern, ergonomic design that combines an elegant silver and chrome finish with sleek lines.

Dandy new electric razor & cleaning system
Braun Pulsonic System 9595 with LCD Screen This razor, with its self-cleaning system, has exceeded my expectations by far for smooth, comfortable and efficient shaving. The whole process is such a pleasure to use, and upon finishing each shave, I simply slip the razor into its self-cleaning base unit. In no time at all, it is automatically and hygienically cleaned and recharged. The base unit's LCD screen shows me when it is thoroughly clean, dry and ready for reuse.

Fantastic shave
Braun Pulsonic System 9595 with LCD Screen
This is my third Braun shaver over the years and most certainly the very best. My face is glass smooth after every shave. Do not hesitate to purchase this fine product.

Good! However its just another electric shaver....
So I paid some 200+ dollars for this shaver and my mistake was I expected some amazing results. Don't get me wrong the shaver gives a pretty close shave after you go over the same areas quite a few times. I think any shaver would give a close shave if you went over the same areas over and over again. Took me about 20mins to shave a days stubble.
My old shaver, a Remington took lesser time but didn't give quite the close shave as the Braun. So it looks great, and has the pricey look and feel to it and does an OK job at shaving. Price difference between my old shaver and the Braun was about 0.
Bottom line, is it worth the 0+.... No its not. There are other foil electric shavers in the market that would cost less and give you the same results. Also other shavers have similar features like self cleaning, cleaning under running water and replaceable cleaning cartridges. (This Braun does come with a pretty sleek looking carry case. I really like that.)
You will not be disappointed when you buy this, however don't expect miracles just because this probably costs at least a 0 more than you average electric shaver.

Braun Soundly Kicks Norelco's Hindquarters!
As a longtime Norelco user (the last a 9160XL), I finally grew tired of their product breaking like clockwork every two-plus years just after the warranty period had passed. Also, the frequent pinching & razor burn was getting me down. Time to switch. I remember many, many years ago when I was buying my first razor that I pined for a Braun, but lacked deep enough pockets to make up the difference (at that time) between the two. Times change and prices have balanced, but now the product differential is very significant! The Braun flat whoops Norelco!
I've had the Braun for about 6 or 8 weeks now, and must say that the shave is closer, it is quicker, and most amazingly to me, it is far more consistent than I ever experienced with Norelco. With the latter, I would always note that a random area of my face or neck would have been missed - not so with the Braun, as it gets all areas of my face and neck baby smooth. My young daughters have both commented on Daddy's face not being rough anymore. That in itself gets the Braun 5 stars!!! And whether or not the "Pulsonic" system is helping the shaver shave closer, I don't care, it just feels terrific on my face. ;-)
The cleaning system is great - yes it adds expense, but at the price point of the razor, I can afford it. And I have found that not having to deal with cleaning stubble out of the razor, and from the sink makes it worth every penny.
From a transparency standpoint, like every razor before, I did have an early learning curve to determine how to best shave with this new machine, which did result in a few early bouts of razor burn at points, but once I figured it out, it has been smooth sailing ever since!
Braun has won me over, and if they continue to deliver, I will never go back! Do yourself a favor, and pick up one of these for yourself, and anyone else you know who needs a razor. It rocks!
One consideration - this is a "Ground Ship Only" item as the box contains one cleaning cartridge that is considered a hazardous material to shippers. So if that matters, take note! Good luck!

great shaver
this shaver may be on the expensive side but it works great; and very easy to use & clean.
