Customer Ratings & Reviews

I will definitely refer friends to buying the game.

This game seemed and looked like a lot of fun. It was definitely an experience.

Not your typical MGS games but great game on it's own right....this game is fast ...love slicing enemies to tiny little pieces...

a great price for a game to add to your collection.

Great game awesome fighting and a good story A little difficult but great action

No sneaking around & no Solid Snake in this one but HEY! What you actually get is a totally insane action game with awesome Kojima designs mixed in plus solid (!) 3rd person fighting mechanics-you won't be disappointed

Awesome action game to play. Definitely worth the purchase.

I love Platinum games like Madworld, Bayonetta and Wonderful 101 so it was a no-brainer when I picked up this title. It's definitely a fun game and is easily accessible to players of different skill levels, offering more advanced mechanics and challenges that tailor to hardcore players.

Over all, I enjoyed the game. It was shorter than other games in the series. After beating thr game twice, I have yet to pick it back up. I would suggest renting it.

Pretty decent game for what it is, an action packed sword wielding Raiden! How ever look else were you are looking for your typical metal gear solid fiasco!

It's enjoyable to play with the cyborg ninja abilities, but Raiden can be an annoying character.

Awesome, Fun, Spectacular, and challenging game. Really holds to the legacy of the previous games and totally make Raiden cooler. A must buy for any Metal Gear fan and for those just being introduced to the Metal Gear world

It's a great game that has all the things you would expect from the metal gear series.

I have not yet played it but how can you go wrong with the M.G.S. franchise...no matter what other people say i will definitely enjoy it. The price was a steal on black friday!

Gotta have some skills, pretty cool! Love multiplayer function.

When initially Kojima and team developed this game, I was not sure what to expect, but as soon as xPlatinum Studio (Creators of Bayonetta, Vanquish) took over the development, I wasted no time in preordering this game. After finishing the campaign and some VR missions, this is how I would put it. ******************************Pros************************************** -Satisfying Heck&Slash Gameplay: This is the main reason you should buy this game. If you liked Devil May Cry, Bayonetta, Dante’s Inferno or may be even God of War, this is the game for you. While heck&slash action is not as great as say Devil May Cry 3, it is tons of fun. Plus, the Blade Mode is unique. -Unique Blade Mode: Yes this is what you see in trailers. Where time is frozen or very slow and Raiden is precision slicing through enemies, tanks, objects etc. At first I felt that it didn’t go well with heck&slash gameplay, but in half and hour I began to love it and I especially enjoyed the creative use of it during enemies and boss fight. -Boss Battles: I love games with good boss battles and Rising definitely has some really nice bosses. I like how each boss battle requires some strategy. You simply can’t button mash your way out of it. I especially loved the high speed boss battles where you utilize combination of Raiden’s ninja run, blade mode and combos. This is one reason I will be playing this game over and over and over again. -Last Boss: WOW I just loved it. They make this guy look like a joke in the beginning but it is only after you listen to his reasoning and fight him, you realize that he deserves to be final boss in every sense. Bravo to whoever came up with the idea. I was really surprised by this and truly enjoyed this fight. -Nicely designed unique enemies: This game surprisingly offers decent amount of different enemies ranging from weak cyborgs to large gekkos. Each requires a slightly different strategy making gameplay quite fun. -Ninja Run: I really like the concept of ninja run in this game. Raiden running around the enemies (especially fast huge and heavily armed enemies), dodging and deflecting bullets, passing through the objects….. looks just so awesome. -Nice graphics and great scenic locations: Graphics were better than I expected and environment are nicely designed for the most stages. -Decent variety of upgradable weapons: The primary and secondary weapons (but not subweapons) are interesting. I especially liked the arm-poll. The fact that you can upgrade them adds RPG element to this game, making fights and gathering experience more fun. -Zandatsu and precision right hand chops: To replenish your health, energy you need to precision cut enemies at certain points (zandatsu) and to acquire certain new upgrades you need to collect right hands of certain enemies. Both of these require precision cutting. I didn’t think I would, but I actually ended up liking this. -VR Missions and New game plus: The game itself is not that long, but you can unlock VR missions and play them adding longevity to the experience. Also new game plus mode allows you to keep weapons and experience so you can master all the weapons, acquire all the upgrades and techniques. Like it. ******************************Cons************************************** -Identity Crisis: There was absolutely no need to keep stealth in this perfectly fine heck&slash game but I guess having Metal Gear in the name the creators decided to do so. I see no reason why a kickas* cyborg needs to hide at all. Also hiding is not the reason I purchase this game. I purchased it because I wanted to toss metal gear in the air and chop it up into millions of pieces. They should have just made this is a pure heck&slash game instead of keeping some missions stealth which are highly annoying. -Missed opportunities: This could have been a great game if they focused the story more on Raiden or the Metal gear universe. They could have made the story so much more personal to Raiden. But instead they decided to fill the cut scenes with cheesy and lame jokes and dialogues. Such a tragedy. -Subweapons: They are difficult to use in fast-paced combat and hurt the pace so badly. Also many of them don’t make sense. A javelin does less damage to choppers than your blade. Simply remove them. ******************************Conclusion************************************** Contrary to the cons I described the gameplay alone in this game makes it worth it. Not to mention the last boss who cracked me up. While short, it had variety of enemies and fun bosses. This really adds to replayability of this game and worth a purchase. If you like DMC, Ninja Gaiden, Bayonetta etc. do yourself a favor and give this a shot.

raiden in his very own game, ''me guyanese man'' nuff said great game

Bought the game for my nephew but I have taking over the game . this game is too cool.

This is another classic from the makers of action games.

I like the continuous story line throughout this series.
