You should try playing Hell Mode without the CPP. I don't think I could've ever beat that mode without it. And I will say that I did not like the CPP at first, but after about an hour or so with it, it made things much easier.

But I do think that both games still play fine without it, but I do think the CPP has more advantages then the button layout.

if you take a look at the first screenshots of this game you will see the exact same places like in the demo. so i am pretty sure KID_A was right when he said the demo was made out of an early build of the game.

i will get this game. love mgs, loved the demo. no need for a second analog stick at all. mgs is about sneeking and not shooting^^

That's sounds like a review to me KidA! What happened to your shield? What would you give this if you rated it?

Haha yep, no shield, so it's not Nintendo Life official! I had to stop writing for the site for a few reasons, but mostly it was just life occurring. It's a volunteer gig, and there was just a lot of things in my life that I needed to concentrate on. Don't worry, I wasn't fired or anything (Unless you were hoping I was fired, in which case, sorry).

I'm only just now getting into part two of the game (I'm not sure if you're familar with the game, but there's a very extended two-hour "introduction," and then the real game kicks in. I'm just now getting to the part where the real game kicks in). Honestly, if it can keep up this quality, it's a 10/10 for me. It's an inherently flawed game, but only because it's one of the most audaciously ambitious ever made. Looks better and plays better than any version I've played, and the sound is just as grand as it's always been.

I´ve played some Metal Gear series in the past, but just as Resident Evil i think it should be changed to something more "spicy", call of duty style

is the game out today?

Nice to hear some good impressions on the game! Sounds like it really will be the best game on the 3DS currently like I hoped :3
_{still doesn't change that I own 2 copies of this game already, I won't be picking it up any time soon either because I just played through the HD version a couple weeks ago}

Lame? The version of Peace Walker that's in the HD Collection is awesome, and no awkward controls are needed at all :3

Absolutely not. Metal Gear Solid 4 had some "Call of Duty"-esque elements that might interest you (the majority of it does, after all, take place on a battlefield) but Metal Gear's emphasis on non-violence is what separates it from the norm.

I know that, but i still prefer more violent games even of the same genre, like HITMAN

I don´t like as much of Splinter Cell series or Metal Gear series. Maybe they are it´s just too soft for me

MGS4 is pretty violent

Of course, 3/4 of it is cutscenes and unless you plan on skipping those cutscenes or sleeping through them, you'll have to play through all the other MGS games to understand any of it
_{and you still won't. understand it.}

i just cleared the demo segment and i want to say that it looks better, but i can't really put my finger on why. i feel like the lighting, color and textures are improved, even if it still has the same basic polygon count. the frame rate still studders occasionally, but it seems to run smoother during gameplay than before. whether those changes are actually there or i've just gotten used to the game and overlook the faults now is hard to say, i don't have the demo to compare with anymore. 3D is amazing, especially in the cut scenes, which makes the 2D aiming suck all the more.

one thing i hate so far is that guards always know where you are when on alert and will shoot at you even when they're on the other side of a mountain or in a totally different area... i don't remember if the original game was like that or not. the controls are no different than the demo and still feel a little clumsy to me, especially when aiming. needless to say i really bombed on the stealth on the way to sokolov. i must have triggered 3 or 4 alerts.

the final build is pretty much the same thing as the demo but it feels at least a little more polished. i wouldn't say it's as improved as kid a thought (revelations still looks way better!), but i do think it's improved enough to be a pretty impressive game. i can't wait to get back to it and start sucking again.

Well I'm excited.

Even if the CPP isn't essential for this game, at least lefty me has one for Kid Icarus now, and potentially Smash Bros. and stuff, right? Should help anyway.

I understood everything in MGS4. It's not hard to listen.

I'm 5 mins in to the intro and very impressed! When snake flicks that cigar into the air was one of the most eye popping and best 3d I've seen yet! I might start over just to see that!

For all people with the game, I have a few questions.........
1. How many save slots is there?
2. Is the 1st person aiming in 3d?
thats all................thanks

As far as I've heard that wasn't changed for the final version, but I'll let someone else confirm.

Hasn't changed. But the frame rate in cutscenes is much better.

and for the save slots only 1, but you have access to every difficulty levels right from the start, including "game over if seen" difficulty

Game Informer review is in.

It's amazing how varied the reviews seem to be

and obviously they compare it to the HD version :I
i have both and i prefer by far the 3D version... might just be me...

edit: didnt see the score... 75 is pretty good imo
