Well when you do get it can you confirm whether or not the main theme (the true theme from the start of MGS2) is in the game or not. I doubt it since they are still afraid of the Russian dude but still it will be nice to know.

Has that Russian dude ever done anything, ever threaten Konami, does he even know about this. I think its all Kojima covering his ass.

Got it
The Bible.... definately have you read the ending
It is bloomin awful (to put bluntly crap), and a man walking on water, Jesus is so lazy not getting off the cross till he "dies" then he makes an awful pantomime-esque comeback... pfff MGS4s plot of dominating genes is more realistic!!!

Was there any lawsuit or anything? If not, why'd Kojima be afraid? The MGS tune was made by TAPPY, and he ripped off the theme tune from the movie Speed.
Anyways, it should ship within 24 hours and I should get it by next Friday at the very latest.
I'm lucky the tracklist has no serious "implications" of what happens in the game itself. I remember reading the tracklist from one of the MGS2 soundtracks and I thought that Otacon died in MGS2 because one of the tracks was called "Memories of Hal." :lol

No, it comes on the same disc as MGS4. I think the "starter pack" nonsense began because at first, even Konami wasn't sure what to do with it. But yeah, it's basically the online MP component of MGS4. "Starter pack" doesn't mean anything other than that it will receive downloadable maps and other stuff later.

Stupid russian journalists, they scared Kojima for life. To think if Kojima never showed up to that interview we would still have the main theme in the game and in the trailers.

Clearly Kojima is afraid that his hand was transplanted to someone else and that he will sue him.

Kyle Coopers MGS2 introduction with the main theme playing in the background still gives me chills.

I'll probably cry if Snake dies. Definitely going to make a point to play the game alone.

EGM had a non review cause they wanted to be able to talk about the whole game before reviewing it, for now they can only comment on the first act. I wrote this up in the EGM thread:
For their non-MGS4 review here is basically what each reviewer says:
Jeremy:
- MGS4 represents the truest expression of the "Metal Gear" concept the world will ever see.
- Bittersweet that the series is over but at least it goes out in style.
- Controls a welcome addtion but he wishes for a cover system.
- Different approach to the game you dont have to be stealthy if you dont want to, infact many big firefights dont allow for stealth.
- Environments larger than MGS3
- You will find out what "La-li-lu-le-lo" means.
- Usually played stealthly in MGS games but killing people is so effective in this game that he got a high kill count.
- Having Drebin on call for ammo makes resource management less of an issue, also offers ridiculous number of possible weapon choices. But best to trick out a few favorites.
Andrew:
- New camera is a relief.
- Didn't mind the lack of dedicated cover system, to busy rushing into battle and getting Drebin points
- Game really encourages run and gun approach, but you can still play both ways.
- New gear and systems like octo camo and MK2 are great.
Matt:
- Played game on easy and hardest mode. On easy you can run around and not fear anything.
- On harder modes he really found the need for cover, wished the expanded the wall hug system they have.
- Other than that new control scheme does a great job, but does not feel it matches those of Splinter Cell.
Shane:
- Loved Act 1's unpredictable pacing, it ditches the usual hand holding tutorial.
- "The game contsnatly toys with your expectations right before exceeding them"
- Commends MGS4 "shockingly well-realized environments"
- "As always, Kojima productions dedication to stuffing the game with oddles of minutiae elevates the artistry to a level rarely reached in gaming."
Shane loved it a lot clearly.

It's Matt Leone, who has played one MGS game before, and only likes God of War. Don't take his opinion too seriously.
