As limbs are lopped and bodies sliced in half, there are ridiculous amounts of blood spray and pooling and intricate details of exposed organs and bones. ThereвЂ™s even a special goal of collecting data-filled (severed) hands for valuable upgrades.Дoes that sound potentially messy? It is.

And then with a special move, Raiden can snatch out internal organ-like вЂњrepair unitsвЂќ from his foes, crush them in his grip and replenish his reserves. Lopping off an opponentвЂ™s arms and legs and leaving him squirming defenselessly on the ground is a plus. There are guns and rocket launchers in the mix, of course, but the focus here is to master the various trigger-pulling, button-mashing katana moves and fluidly rend screaming human and robotic foes into their basest chunks. And so itвЂ™s battle after battle of high-flying, slashing, hacking and dismembering action that jumps from one big boss and his hundreds of somersaulting underlings to the next. Raiden is a guy with a run-and-gash fever lust for killing and all the вЂњbetter-than-GinsuвЂќ katana steel he needs to slam-bam into conflict rather than worry about silent infiltration. But thereвЂ™s no need for no stinkinвЂ™ sneakinвЂ™ here. Metal Gear games have been famous for pioneering the stealth genre, with players generally starting out with a single simple weapon as theyвЂ™re called upon to sneak past guards and then on to better armaments and guns.

So an organization called Desperado Enforcement is sent in with its own supercharged cyborgs to kidnap the leader and stir up an international boiling pot.ДЄfter he and his team are smacked around a bit and shown to be ill prepared, itвЂ™s time for Raiden to get some updated tech enhancements and fly into a raging quest for vengeance вЂ¦ or revenge вЂ¦ or revengeance? That fevered pursuit is also where this new game starts feeling a lot different from its predecessors. They prefer unrest and a flourishing war economy. There are other powerful forces, however, who donвЂ™t want an influential leader doing silly things such as curbing crime rates and opting for peace. ItвЂ™s four years after the events of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, and this вЂњraised to be a soldierвЂќ cyborg is part of a private security firm tasked with keeping an African prime minister safe and sound. In this game the usual protagonist Snake takes a backseat to a cybernetically enhanced battler named Raiden who reemerges from Metal Gear memory to take the lead. But this latest creation from famed game director Hideo Kojima is still something of a departure from the Metal Gear ways of old.
