Wow.

Imagine Black, but with stealth, better graphics, and less damagable property, but definitely better sound and effects.

That's Metal Gear Solid 4.

Despite the fact that I don't play these types of games very often, I only died three times. (Granted, I'm playing one level above wuss.) However, I'm not very fair in, since I've actually been something of a collector in my travels.

I've also yet to get used to the sneaking about (oh, you have to hold the button down to grab them, then slash), so I've basically been stealth walking about, bailing out militia.

Controls are pretty smooth. The camera is a bit annoying, but not too horrible. My controller may be to blame, since it's what I got with my PS3, hence, it's seen quite a bit of use.
