All I will say is my money went towards Platinum Games and this excellent game, while I Irony is such a strange yet wonderful thing! It's ironic that as I enjoy this game deep down I felt like this is what a new DMC should of been like, it's also wonderfully ironic that the maligned yet battle proven Platinum Games were 'attacked' by apparent new DmC fans due to certain erroneous issues. Irony is such a strange yet wonderful thing! It's ironic that as I enjoy this game deep down I felt like this is what a new DMC should of been like, it's also wonderfully ironic that the maligned yet battle proven Platinum Games were 'attacked' by apparent new DmC fans due to certain erroneous issues. Again, I stress that this normally -is not- my type of game, but I'm just blown away by the sheer quality and dedication that Platinum games put into the title. Metal Gear Solid fans will notice some of the series' implanted design you can hide under a cardboard box or a barrel to try and sneak up on enemies if you'd rather one-hit-kill them stealthily, or you can go in guns blazing true to the Metal Gear franchise in that respect. The fast paced gameplay mixes really nicely with the "can cut anything" sword that Raiden possesses, allowing you to slice and dice everything from humanoid cyborgs, to mechs, to about half of the environmental props in a particular level. I never felt out of control with Raiden, which was one of my concerns, as a lot of games like to grab you into an animation and you feel helpless. The boss fights are extremely well designed, especially in the sound department, as the music changes depending on how deep into the fight you are. I was never much a fan of hack and slash games, but being a Metal Gear fan, I had to at least give it a shot. ![]() I never felt out of control with Raiden, which was one of my concerns, as a lot of games like to grab you into Completely blown away. All together, this is the same universe Metal Gear fans know and love but with a new, fresh vector into it they didn't even though they would love. This gives the player an equivalent to God of War's rage mode. The biggest subplot is Raiden's alter ego from his days as child soldier "Jack the Ripper". ![]() The story is pretty good and properly topical (like MGS1 or MGS3) main focus being Raiden's personal crusade to stop a defence contractor from turning children into cyborg soldiers, and stimulating the war economy by framing Pakistan for an attempt to assinate the US president (leading to one of the most epic Metal Gear battles ever). Platinum's engine, explicitly for hack 'n slash gives the proper cyborg ninja experience. Even though previous MGS titles had VR missions as ninjas, they were severely constrained by their engines. This is the greatest fetus transplant ever: a game KojiPro could never make, handed over to Platinum Games, who can only make this kind of game. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An incredible game and an early candidate of game of the year. Strange fact, it felt like a great collaboration between Kojipro (essentially Konami) and Platinum Games, who were made of Capcom's ex staffers. ![]() Why only a 9? Well, it is a bit on the short side, but for what it's worth, it is filled with enough heart stopping moments of coolness that you can't help but smile. Done right, it will make you feel like a bad ass Ninja Cyborg. Superb graphics as well as the usual great controls are trademarks of Platinum Games more surprising is the difficult to master 'Parry System', a bit similar to 3DS' Shinobi. At its heart, MGR is a strange lovechild between MGS, Bayonetta and Vanquish all rolled into one slick package. Done right, it Let's make this clear, MG Rising is one of the best game to come out of this generation. Let's make this clear, MG Rising is one of the best game to come out of this generation.
