Patiently waiting two years to get our hands on Hideo Kojima's ultimate entry in the wildly popular Metal Gear Solid stealth-action franchise hasn't been easy. A steady trickle of gorgeous trailers and impressive gameplay demonstrations (climaxing with the gleefully absurd new Tokyo Game Show promo clip featuring a diaper-wearing monkey and a monumental Metal Gear Rex-versus-Metal Gear Ray showdown) has millions of fans across the globe wondering if Metal Gear Solid 4 will deliver on the game's promise to "transfuse life into Sony's war machine, the PlayStation 3" (Konami's words, not ours). So many aspects of the MGS experience have changed here, from the setting (chaotic, war-torn urban battlegrounds replace the drab enemy bases and organic jungles of previous titles) to the hero (the edgy maverick Solid Snake has become an embittered, war-weary old man due to advanced aging), that longtime fans may wonder if this is still the Metal Gear Solid they've grown to love over the past decade.
