Konami teams up with Platinum Games to deliver a fantastic action game.
From exhilarating start to dizzying finish,Revengeancedispels those rumours with a flurry of tempered steel.
The story centres around Raiden, the silver-haired warrior first introduced inMGS2.
Opening VR sequences provide a way intoRevengeancescombat system.
Hectic and over-the-top though it often is, Revengeance hasnt turned its back on stealth, either.
Theres some great music too, with Jamie Christophersons metal score providing the perfect backwash to all the ultraviolence.
The only chink inRevengeancesarmour is, mystifyingly, its camera system.
This is a relatively minor caveat in an otherwise remarkable package, though.
IsRevengeancethe finest combat game of this generation?
As one character gleefully puts it, Give war a chance.
Youll be so glad you did.
Metal Gear: Revengeanceis out now for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
