Some may criticize Metal Gear Solid 4 for being just as much a movie as it is a game, but that very facet of this extraordinary package is what makes it so remarkable. Never before has one entertainment experience so flawlessly combined storytelling and gameplay, yet the game's most cinematic moments aren't those you watch, but those you partake in. An exciting motorcycle chase with larger-than-life consequences, a stealthy search in the foggy streets of an eastern European village, your first glimpse of a mechanical Gekko as it emits its bloodcurdling moo--these experiences get your blood pumping and stay with you for days, weeks, even months later. Yet as tremendous as each of these sequences are, two split-screen moments are bound to be etched into your brain, including one so emotionally taxing that you may emerge just as exhausted as the aged and fragile Solid Snake himself.
