I usually hate hack and slash games with a bleeding passion. But! I have never experienced a campaign with such glorious graphics. They have done there best for a video game especially Raiden. Playing this game will make sure you have fun with anything in this game.

For everyone saying it needs more classic stealth and CQC and all that other stuff it has it but it's not the main focus. It's metal gear rising not solid which is why they didn't put solid in the first place because it's not meant to be a continuation of the snake series in anyway. This a game about raiden not snake and stealth wasn't meant to be a huge part in this game so they didn't name it solid in the first place. This game is ideal for people who lean more towards a ninja gaiden feel of things just with a different story and better mechanics.

The game play is smooth, but the camera does get in the way at times. Also the blocking system does need to be fixed. Both of those reasons don't get in the way so much where your experience will be ruined. The story starts right after Metal Gear 4, and is very solid. But it is a very short experience clocking in around 6-7 hours. It is a good experience though. But it is very easy to replay missions to get a better score than before. Finally the soundtrack is amazing with hardcore heavy metal that gets you so pumped. This game gets an 8/10. I would have given a 7/10 because of the short story, and a couple mechanics that need to be fixed such as the blocking and camera issues. But overall the game is too good for a 7/10.

I could not wait for this to come out and it is a sweet game , it was fun . really smooth but it was to damm short you will be it in under 5hr of game time . less if you skip the confusing cut scenes. It is totaly not worth 60 bucks. feels like another unfinshed game it needed alot more to the game. But this is a perfect weekend rental.

All I have to say is that I played the demo many, many time. I got hooked on it and was excited to get it when it released. For some reason, when I got home with it I lost all interest in it and returned it a couple days after playing it. I would not recommend at all.

I have played Metal Gear Solid since it came out on the older playstation systems, and I was truly looking forward to this since it was coming to the xbox. To my surprise, this really wasn't all that good. The combat system was hard to grasp at first, and in my opinion, the futuristic hightech atmosphere, was a bit too much. It is nothing like the classic Metal Gear games, where you can choose between a gun and other weapons, nor do the sneaking areas really have as much meaning. To me, overall, this game was pointless to buy and really over rated. I know a lot of people will disagree with me, but they just took too much of the older game style and feel away to please me.

Overall game play is challenging just make sure to switch to hard mode from the start.Or use the konami code at the start menu.The graphics are great as with most metal gears.The gameplay feels very smooth and rewards players BP depending on how well you do in combat.With multiple weapons and diffrent ways to take down your foes ranging from sword drawn and charging ahead to stealth takedowns and discretion it never seems to feel stale or repetitive like so many other titles.The soundtrack sets the mood for boss battles extremely well and is downright amazing.For not being a traditional metal gear and trying something new this game came out quite well overall I would give it an 9/10

Finished the game in less than 8 Hours. Awesome game that's for sure, but I wish they would develop the story much longer. Definitely not worth the price at the moment. All this hype was cut short.

Apparently one day, Hideo Kojima decided he wanted Metal Gear game NOT based on stealth, but rather based upon lightning fast action. He asked Platinum Games, the developer of Bayonetta and Vanquish, if they would like to make it. They agreed. Don't expect a classic Metal Gear experience from this game guys, it doesn't say "tactical espionage action" on the cover, it says "lighting bolt action". The gameplay is fast, smooth and satisfying, as expected from Platinum. Cutting people to pieces, strangely, does not get repetitive at all. There are some stealth elements, but it's not the focus. The graphics are alright, but I'm not impressed. It seems higher quality textures and the polygon count took a serious hit to make way for chopping enemies to pieces. The soundtrack is fantastic, each boss has a very unique theme with lyrics about them. It's doesn't take very long to beat the game, especially if you don't bother listening to the codec. There are plenty of things to do once you beat it, such as VR missions, unlocking more abilities and higher difficulties, but it's still too short. Without cutscenes and codec conversations the game is about 6 hours, but with them it's more than double that. Seems that this is a true Metal Gear game after all.

Its really not that bad. WORTH A BUY. even if you are 50/50 on a purchase. Biggest problem i specifically have is the voice actor for raiden. DOESNT fit the game character. Secondly this game is short. seven missions. im praying for a new game plus. first off, AWESOME soundtrack. this is the first game to not use an orchestra (just a band) and made sweet sweet action game japanese heavy metal. best metal gear to date. not a huge metal gear fan, but this makes the cut. it gives you the option to sneak,... but with a huge sword... why would you want to?

Alright first of all, this has to be one of the most fun Metal Gear games I've ever played in my life. To those who may question what happened to the stealth aspect of the series, its still present, just not in the same manner as in the Metal Gear SOLID series. This is Metal Gear RISING, not SOLID, the name being changed to help distinguish the difference. The graphics are some of the best I've ever seen on the Xbox 360 and the gameplay is incredibly fun, albeit slightly challenging. The music suits the fast-paced combat perfectly, perfect transitions into different verses especially during boss fights. The story is great, because its solely Raiden's spotlight this time around and of course they're going to need to develop more of a basis to create a better plot if they create a new entry into the Rising series. The fighting is more hack and slash than it is stealth, but many aspects of the stealth are still present, like being able to sneak up on an enemy and neutralize them in one hit. I've played just about every Metal Gear game and this is definitely one of my favorites.

Fans of Metal Gear Solid who are looking for the stealthy, lengthy, story-driven gameplay that has defined Metal Gear for 25 years, you are going to be sorely dissapointed. That said, everyone else who is looknig for a fun, fast, insane action game, you've come to the right place. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance offers the universe of Metal Gear combined with the action gameplay of games such as Devil May Cry and Bayonetta. There are very few lulls in the action, save for a few codec conversations and cutscenes. Within 10 minutes of playing, I was jumping from rocket to rocket, sword at the ready, as I was charging at a giant Metal Gear Ray. The parrying is hard to master, and will frustrate a few players, but luckily on Easy difficulty there is an option to make parrying a lot easier. There are a few stressfull moments here and there, mostly related to the Ninja Run ability. Graphics are exactly what you would expect from a Metal Gear game: Beautiful. The music can be a bit annoying sometimes, but that's not a major concern. Overall, Metal Gear Rising:Revengeance is a brilliant, face paced action game that any fan of the action genre should play.

Remember that cutscene in Metal Gear Solid 4 where Raiden just decimates multiple troops and Geckos easily. This is that game. Metal Gear Rising make you feel like you have the power that Raiden did in that cutscene, and it exceeds amazingly in that. This game is not supposed to be anything like Metal Gear Solid, it's a spinoff based around the story of a character that has a completely different way of fighting. I hate the people saying that it isn't like "Other" Metal Gear Solid games. IT's NOT SUPPOSED TO BE!!! Its the exact opposite. If they were making a Metal Gear Solid game it would have been called "Metal Gear Solid". I don't see how people don't understand that. Anyways the game exceeds at being an awesome action game while still making you know that it's story is connected to the Metal Gear universe. Platinum games did an awesome job with this game and they never fail to amaze me. Graphics are nice and sharp and the physics are amazing. The only complaints I have about this game is that the lasting appeal isn't the greatest, and that the levels feel a little empty sometime. Other than that it's an overall great game that feels exactly like Kojima's original vision for the game. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

im a huge metal gear fan and i was highly disappointed in the story line and it didnt follow the original stealth aspect as portrayed in the other metal gears. it needs more sneaking around, CQC, guns, and a better story, if they make another 1 there better be more classic gameplay....
P.S i got it and beat it in the same day, that should say enough

Metal Gear RISING
Posted 2/21/13
It is called Metal Gear RISING for a reason. This is not Metal Gear Solid. Do not buy this game expecting Metal Gear Solid 5. It is of course different then the original. The fact that you rated this game based off of it's difference from the other series is ridiculous. This is a different game, and a different series. Rate the game please.

Review 19 for Metal Gear Rising Revengeance
What have they done ?

The very first Metal gear I remember like it was yesterday . I'll never forget as a kid coming home from school and seeing it sitting there in the package on the table. Ever since then I have looked forward to all future metal gears.
But sadly to say the franchise is going down the toilet and this newest version Metal Gear Rising Revengeance just looks dumb to me. Metal gear is about stealth movement. This looks like a guy in a cyborg suit just hacking and slashing everything in site, including tanks? lol
Graphics look good but the gameplay is BLAH... not very metal gear like. I'll be passing on this title, sadly...

I've been anticipating this game since it was called Metal Gear Solid: Rising! Just played through the demo via Xbox Live and it looks very, very promising!! I already have my preorder in, but now I'm even more excited to receive it!
