Metal Gear Rise Revengeance

Metal Gear Rise Revengeance

Since ancient opus on MSX Metal Gear has always been synonymous with infiltration. So when I heard that Platinum Game ( Bayonetta , Vanquish ... ) would develop an opus , I was puzzled. It is almost as if we had told me that Maxis would be responsible for the next Call of Duty. But perplexity does not necessarily mean distrust. Platinum has produced remarkable games and Kojima remains supervision . With the futuristic world of Metal Gear Solid 4 and playability doped amphetamines so Vanquish , there was enough to produce a real bomb .

Raiden Superstar

In " Metal Gear Rising Revengeance ," you play as Raiden in Metal Gear Solid 2 , except this time , you have been warned. It has changed since that time, because it is from MGS 4 a ninja cyborg (or cyborg ninja ?) . Still, the action takes place in 2018 and Raiden , still class, works for Maverick Security. He will escort the Prime Minister N'Mani and, of course , nothing goes as planned . Desperado cyborgs are entering and it is the beginning of a ( not so) long adventure literally packed with action .

Gameplay that slice !

Because if it is not extremely long (within 7 h) , Metal Gear Rising is intense. Its handling is confusing at first , control of the sword is quite technical . We can indeed choose the direction in which we cut our enemies and mutilate and wisely. The buggers know also defend themselves happily tells what parts of their bodies cut first. With a little practice , parades are masters, against attacks and we are left to chain combos , to deflect bullets saber , all at an incredible speed : it is exhilarating.

Mission accomplished!

Graphically, the game is incredibly successful and spectacular , sometimes extravagantly . It only remains for me to place the order with Pixmania . Fans of the MGS universe find references to the series and some " paw Kojima " beautiful cutscenes, geopolitical scenario twisted, long dialogues via codec, etc. . Finally, the bet is won Platinum : make a good beat'em all available and bringing défoulant without usurping the colors Metal Gear. So unless you are allergic to perfectly pure action : go for it.
