As a massive Metal Gear fan, I have to, in all honesty, state that Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is absolutely fantastic, and quite possibly one of my favorite games in the entire series. I can easily place it within my personal top five of the series, which for a franchise that spans 10+ games, is rather impressive. Many other Metal Gear fans may disagree with my opinion of this game, and while I admit that their reasons are certainly valid (it's clearly a dramatic departure from the rest of the series, and many believe its storyline and gameplay to be a betrayal of the series' spirit and core values), I must assert nonetheless that there is a simple satisfaction to be found in slicing enemy cyborgs in half, suplexing massive crab-mechs, and unraveling political-corporate conspiracies through long-winded, convoluted philosophical dialogues. Despite its bizarre nature in the face of the greater Metal Gear Saga, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance proves itself to be a game that is uniquely, viscerally enjoyable; a testosterone-fueled rampage through series conventions that, in my opinion, does indeed retain the inner spirit of the franchise that made us all love it back in 1998 (or perhaps even '87). I believe that if given the chance, Metal Gear Rising will surprise you. In fact, you might even find yourself grinning as you hurl a giant bipedal walking robot into the sky and cut it to bits, blood coursing through your veins. Let 'er rip!
