Kojima Productions' much awaited third-person stealth action game, Metal Gear Solid 4 (MGS4) for PlayStation 3 was finally launched on June 12 midnight in Japan. Hideo Kojima, creator of Metal Gear series, has brought the veteran Solid Snake out to combat on Metal Gear's fourth installment with smooth movements, crisp graphics, and cinematic environment.

In MGS4, gamers will play as Solid Snake. The story is framed in the year 2014 after the Plant Chapter of Metal Gear Solid 2. The scene portrays a world where Liquid Ocelot operated company "Outer Haven's" five private militaries fight proxy wars for their own business motives. The chief motive is take control for expanding prominence of nanotechnology. These militaries can freely combat on any foreign land. Solid Snake is again deployed on an assignment, where the world is at crisis due to Liquid's evil objective for launching an armed insurrection for controlling the Sons of the Patriots who exist in the private military companies as the nanos.

Snake's missions are spread across five different locations. Revamped gameplay concepts stimulate Close Quarter Combat System with new improved and modified devices like the OctoCamo (environment patterns and color capturer device), and also cinematic cut scenes to bridge the relativity gap between MGS4 and previous installments.

Meanwhile, PC gamers have been protesting about PS3-only release. Lastly, regarding availability, like other high-profile games such as BioShock and Grand Theft Auto IV, the release of MGS4 in India has been delayed too. But if you happen to visit North America, or Japan anytime soon, grab a copy!

I have always been a ps man until last year when i purchased a 360 as the ps2 was obsolite, i am now in the process of saving for a ps3 console and should be done end of the month, my sole reasoning for this ps3 transfer is METAL GEAR SOLID 4 i think others should do the same especially pc gamers
