games website Rise of Metal Gear Solid: Revenge Review: Best ACT of the Year?

I. Personal mood

The game was originally released in 2009 as Metal Gear Solid: Rise and, like the series to date, was developed by KONAMI's Kojima Studio. But then it was decided to give the development to Platinum Studios.

With this decision, the title of the game was also changed to Metal Gear Rising: Revenge. The game takes place four years after the end of the Metal Gear Solid 4 story, so Platinum Studio's message has been very clear, I don't care how deep the hole you Hideo Kojima dug before, since you Hideo Kojima made a start to quit, Then my Platinum studio "Revenge" to make what you this nominal supervision can not control (the above is purely personal YY, please do not take it seriously).

When Hideo Kojima handed over the development of the game to Platinum Studios, the head of Platinum has been very clear and official to declare that Metal Gear Rising: Revenge is already a new ACT style "Metal Gear" that is different from the original character, so players who want to continue to seek the thrill of diving assassination please wait patiently for Metal Gear: "Ground Zero," and to those who have played the game and said that the game has lost the soul of Metal Gear Solid, I bought a watch last year!

Ii. Game introduction -- 8 points

The game was originally intended to follow the events of Raiden during the period between Metal Gear Solid 2 and Metal Gear Solid 4, but after Platinum Studios got involved, the story time of the game was moved several years after the end of Metal Gear Solid 4 in order to have more room for development: Cyborgs (Strengthened Bones) are rapidly developing in the world, producing a large number of superhumans, affecting the entire world.

The original story of the game begins in Africa, where Raiden is defeated by the local side of the mechanical ninja sam, who not only has an arm cut off by the enemy, but also has an important mission of Raiden protection stolen by the enemy, causing the mission to fail. At the critical moment was saved by his companions, Lightning was replaced with mechanical limbs, that is, became the legendary "human stick". Then Raiden bore the humiliation and began his revenge......

Bottom line: Mindless drama, but ACT doesn't have to watch any drama.

3. Game graphics -- 8.5 points

The overall picture of the game is relatively excellent in 360 games. The game engine was originally an upgraded version of KONAMI's FOX engine, which was later handed over to Platinum Studios for development and appears to have become Platinum Studios' own engine. First of all, the CG quality of the game is normal, but in the scene performance is great, CG in the narrative of the game's necessary plot and character dialogue is a few hot action scenes, the character expression is lifelike.

The opening thunder was blown out by sam

The actual game scene is also very brilliant, close-up character modeling and scene depiction are very detailed but the distant is a dog's mouth. Whether it is scene lighting or visual focus change, the performance effect of vegetation in the game scene, or the unique wetting effect of characters' clothing in the rain, all reflect quite good visual performance effect.

The overall game color is full, the material light effect is also very delicate and real. In the actual game, the picture is full of sense, the overall game rhythm is tense and smooth, and the actual running speed of 60 frames of the console version (some of the big scenes of the explosion battle scene will drop frames) highlights the conscience. The fast-paced battle is also flowing without any sense of tearing the lens, the frame number is smooth and stable, and the moves are refreshing, absolutely worthy of praise!

Opening boss battle

The character modeling and weapon modeling are very metallic, the air fluctuations in the series are very tense, overall Platinum Studio's Metal Gear Rising: Revenge is a lot of progress than the conquest, the witch picture, and thanks to the excellent art, the texture quality is also very good. At the same time, the color of the game is the kind that I personally like very much, clean and bright but not dazzling, neither greasy nor dirty feeling, and the eyes will not feel tired for a long time.

The dog was cut

Summary: I asked a few PS3 players, as opposed to 360, PS3 is CG Blu-ray HD but the actual game picture is poor (PS3 game capacity is 20G, 360 game capacity is 8G)

Game music/sound effects -- 9 points

Platinum game music will never let the players down, long ago the witch is amazing, to the rise of this glorious tradition continues to pass on. The game BGM has only one word - burn! Exciting electric rock music with fast-paced combat, a strong sense of metal. BOSS battle is also equipped with a very hot singing, who plays who knows!

The fighting sound effect in the game is very excellent, the clash of cold weapons is powerful, from the side to highlight the fierce battle, the sound effect of cutting melons and vegetables in the chopping mode is also very real, in short, from the picture and music sound effect alone, the rising quality of the game has been quite high!

Summary: do not explain more, enter the game to have a good experience.

5. Game operation -- 9 points

Needless to say, the striking sense of the game, platinum studio production is basically a conscience guarantee. Although it does not have the pleasure of the knife into the flesh of the dragon, it is just as refreshing and smooth as the ghost cry. The feeling of being stuck in the flesh after a knife slashes a humanoid enemy is exhilarating.

①. General operation explanation:

xbox360 version of the specific operation

X key: Light attack, combo add

Y key: Heavy attack, combo added

A key: Jump

B key: Capture/Special action

LT: Chopping mode (After entering chopping mode, the left rocker adjusts the character's direction, and the right rocker adjusts the character's chopping direction horizontally and vertically)

LB: Use secondary weapons (RPG, grenade, etc.)

RT: Ninja Run (the run will automatically split the bullets fired by the enemy, while the parkour effect can also replace the dodging effect to a certain extent, and there are derivative skills! So it's important to learn how to run ninja!)

2. Special operation explanation: In addition to the basic operations, there are a large number of special operations, only flexible grasp of these special operations to ensure the S-level score, otherwise it can be said that it is difficult to move!

1. Defense: Direction front +X (most important)

The defense system is very distinctive, unlike single-button blocks in other acts, and there are no long blocks. So pressing forward +X when there are no enemies has no defensive effect. Only when the enemy is about to attack (parts turn red) can the defense effect be generated, and the judgment condition of defense is loose. If the defense is accurate at the moment of the enemy's attack, it will have a projectile backfire effect, and you can perform a combo addition at this time. At the same time the enemy will go into vertigo.

2. Dodge: Forward +Y

Like the time of defense, it is also at the moment of the enemy's attack.

3. Vertigo Chase: Y+B

In addition to the vertigo effect under the above conditions, the enemy and the lightning themselves will enter the state of vertigo under attack for a long time (recommended grenade to dizzy, a soul, who knows who uses, I don't tell him!) At this time, quickly press the Y+B key can produce a similar end of the effect, followed by the corresponding chopper mode, can only be described in one word, handsome! Of course, if lightning himself is stunned by the enemy, he must turn the rocker immediately, or he will wait for a fat beating.

4. Lift: direction forward +X

Can be pursued in the air, with ground pursuit effect (only humanoid enemies)

5. Spike: forward +Y

The spike is far away

6. Back jump: X+A

Those of you who have played DNF Ghost swordsman should understand that there is an evasive effect

Step 7: Step forward in direction A+ +Y

45 degree dive stampede

8. Hit the ground: A+YY

Hit it down hard

9. Rotary chop: Shake the left rocker 360°+Y

360° wide range attack

10. Run Chop: Ninja Run +X battle

Running while swinging the blade, must be used to fight the big boss

11. Sliding Shovel: Ninja Run +Y

You can directly shovel light enemies into the air, chopping state, if properly launched, you can shovel multiple enemies for "one cut"!

Summary: The golden sign of platinum studio is placed, feel smooth operation.

6. Game Style and system -- 9 points

The game flow of this game is basically all the way to cut melons and vegetables + occasional infiltration assassination, as mentioned above, as a pure ACT nature of the game, the battle process can refer to any mainstream ACT on the market, here no more details. As you can see from the list of achievements, the game is divided into eight levels.

From File R-00 to File R-07. Under the ordinary difficulty of the skilled worker 5-6 hours clearance is no problem, because many of the soldiers in the process do not need to fight, climb a wall around a road can skip (personal do not recommend skipping, there will be BP loss), so greatly saving the clearance time! Let's talk about the game system in detail.

1. The first is the essence of the system of this work -- the chopping and capturing system:

The appearance condition requires the player to control the lightning to attack the enemy several times, and some parts of the enemy will appear a light blue bright block and marked with a chop. At this time, press LT to enter the slash mode, the game screen will become over the shoulder Angle of view, the game time will slow down (similar to bullet time), at this time the player needs to control the left and right joystick to adjust the direction for fruit ninja-style cutting action (the developer says the maximum number of pieces is 300).

The blue energy bar in the upper right corner will continue to drop when the chopper mode is launched, but don't worry, if the player can continue to accurately chop the core of the red box in the chopper state, there will be a "snatch" effect.

At this point, Raiden will seize the enemy's artificial spinal central control system to store energy to fill his own energy and blood tank, similar to the end of other Acts, this series of cloud water after the capture, the screen will give Raiden a cool close-up, the actual effect of bloody, mutilated limbs and blood all over the ground, when it is really blood.

2. Evaluation system:

After each wave of enemy battle, it will be evaluated according to the time spent, BP number, number of kills, number of combos, number of kills, and whether there is no damage. The highest evaluation is S. If you pass the entire chapter, you'll read all the reviews. Some obsessives and perfectionists just check out......

3. Skills and equipment upgrade learning system:

At the end of each level, weapons can be upgraded, new weapons purchased, and new skills learned based on the number of BP earned. There are a lot of red boxes in the level, cut down after the items, including blood medicine, grenades, flashbombs and so on. There's something in the back called a chest that you can drill all the way down to......

4. Assassination System:

There's not much more to say, the enemy is deaf when his back is to you, go behind the direct B key to kill. Can be killed directly from the air while above the enemy. When you get caught sneaking in, the enemy will put a red exclamation mark on your head and then give you a merciless look. But this game is not to sneak into the game, play once in a while.

5. Gather elements and VRMISSION

There are free cut to collect the left hand of enemy soldiers, find specific items hidden in the map, such as MGS2 dog tag and MGS3 KETOTAN (frog clock) collection elements. In this game, you can unlock VRMISSION by investigating the terminal machine set on the map.

VRMISSION

Summary: The capture system is the biggest highlight.

7. Conclusion - 8.7 points

This game is likely to compete with the Ascension of War for the best action game of the year, many people are guessing whether there will be a PC version, before the platinum did not accept the word PC. Unfortunately, according to the urine of platinum, the hope of the PC version is slim, but it is not without.

Once again, I suggest that you can enter a cracked PS3 experience, after all, there are many exclusive titles in the year. You said that the next era host is coming again at this time to buy this era host is not very loss, we do not have to worry about this, because of the cost of game production factors, etc., this era host can fight again for 2-3 years.

The cat is the final boss, and look at that handsome, flexible backflip

Recommended crowd: All action game lovers!
