Product Description
Platform: PLAYSTATION 3
Manufacturer's Description
Players assume control of Raiden, protagonist of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and supporting character in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. A key gameplay feature for the game is titled zan-datsu, which involves "cutting" through enemies and "taking" parts from the bodies of dismembered cyborgs and robots. Rising's stealth elements will emphasize Raiden's considerable speed and agility through what Matsuyama describes as "hunting stealth." Unlike the "waiting stealth" of previous titles, in which players remained hidden and avoided combat, players in Rising will instead quickly stalk their enemies and use acrobatic maneuvers to stay out of sight while closing in. This ties in with the game's zan-datsu feature, allowing them to prey upon enemies to obtain weapons, items, and energy.
Features:
- Rising's stealth elements will emphasize Raiden's considerable speed and agility through what Matsuyama describes as "hunting stealth."
- Gameplay will focus on two key elements: swordfighting, and a style of stealth that is more fast-paced and action-oriented.
- "Cutting" entails sophisticated swordplay that lets players engage in third person melee combat, as well as precisely slash enemies and objects "at will" along a geometrical plane using a "free slicing" mode.
Product Description
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance for PlayStation 3 takes the series into a bold new direction, combining the stealth tactics and epic story-telling of Kojima Productions with the adrenalin-fuelled action of PlatinumGames.
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is the latest thrilling chapter of the ever-expanding Metal Gear saga. Taking place four years after the events of Metal Gear Solid 4, the world of cyborg crimes and terrorism is the perfect place for Raiden to take the lead as he searches for the truth about his past while trying to uphold justice.
Raiden is working for Maverick Security, one of several Private Military Companies (or PMCs) that have sprung up in a world where cyborg technology has become commonplace. In the three years since the Patriots system collapsed, peace still remains elusive as cybernetics become a tradable commodity and renegade PMCs prove to be as corrupt as the former Patriots. Desperado Enterprices are one such PMC, and it is their involvement in terrorist activities that spurs Raiden's new tale on.
Raiden's story continues to evolve in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. As dedicated Metal Gear fans will know, he was a child soldier who was transformed into a cyborg ninja and equipped with a high-frequency katana blade. But he also carries another weapon - a soul fuelled by revenge. Raiden is playable in both his "White" form, as seen in Guns of the Patriots, and his new, more powerful "Black" cyborg armour.
With Raiden a different kind of hero to Solid Snake, so Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is a different kind of Metal Gear experience. Some of the key stealth elements remain (including the infmaous cardboard box!) but the focus is on high-energy, high-impact action, with a fast and fluid game style centred on Raiden's katana-based combat.
At the heart of this new hack-and-slash action is the new Zan Datsu cut mechanic. This skillful strike will allo

5.0 out of 5 stars
If you're looking at the reviews you're probably wondering if this game is worth buying, so I'll be straightforward:
This is a MUST BUY if:
You like cyborgs/cybernetics
You like the ninja gaiden series
You are a fan of Kojima
You like swords
You like cutting things
You find Raiden cool
Don't buy if:
You expect this to be like the previous metal gear games. It's not.
(this is neither good nor bad) It's entirely different in every way.
Even the genre is different, so you cannot compare the two.
You don't want to spend a decent amount of money on a game that doesn't
last very long.
For me it was an excellent buy, 'cause I'm a fan of all the things mentioned in the 'must buy' section. This is a game of flawless action, fast moves, beautiful design, and spectacular fights, especially the boss fights are simply AMAZING. And it's worth mentioning that the soundtrack is EPIC. The combination of the background music with what is actually happening on screen results in PURE AWESOMENESS. Too bad this game doesn't last long. The main story is not long, it's just ok in length. The camera was a bit problematic but only at 2-3 situations, it's nothing. So the only negative elements worth mentioning is its relatively short length, and a side-effect that gave me at least, the urge to cut/smash/rip things on the real world..
Such an exciting game. Get it.

An amazing game that is a twist on the Metal Gear Solid games. firstly IT IS NOT Metal Gear Solid. Note the fact that Solid isn't in the title. It's like what would happen if the Ninja Gaiden developers slept with Kojima and Platinum Games it's Vanquish-Ninja-Gear (terrible name I know) I loved every moment of this game sure the graphics of the environment weren't that good they focused a lot more on the character models and other enemies (Although the Japanese garden was a real glint of hope and beauty) The combat is amazing and the VR missions will probably take you longer to complete than the actual games story which is very very very short. it would be best to wait for the price drop. It's somewhat of a shame that it was so short considering how long we had to wait since it was announced in 2009 before they handed development over to Platinum. Either way it's a great game and plenty of replay value if you're going for a platinum trophy.

Fun but not unforgettable
The game is OK but it lack a little bit of introduction.
Complicated even in normal mode, it is suited for hardcore gamer, not for casual.
Not as good as DMC.

too short
good game no more. Adds nothing to the story of Metal Gear. It is very short. On the upside is entertaining and fun and simple.

Classic
This captures the essence of the HI octane scenes featuring Raiden in mgs4. Totally jaw dropping action from start to finish while feeling part of the mgs universe.
