"The final product is astounding, the look, feel & sound of a Metal Gear product is all there. Despite the lack of a true blockbuster feel, you know the kind that costs around $40,000,00, Metal Gear Solid: Philanthropy is the greatest fan made movie I have ever seen. I strongly urge you to watch this, and then get over to the comment section and tell them what a great job they did. It has taken years, literally, but they kept at it and now it’s done."
"Picking up almost four years after the "Big Shell Incident" from MGS 2, Metal Gear Solid 4 takes place in a world where the restriction of military intervention on foreign soil has been eased, fuelling the need for private military companies to fight proxy wars for business purposes. Nanotechnology has become prominent, both to enhance the capabilities and enforce the loyalty of mercenaries and five of the largest PMCs are owned by Outer Haven, a company operated in the Middle East by Liquid..."
"Oddly, its something of an accurate send off thats true to the rest of the series. It embodies the era of gaming in which it was first conceived. But old times and everything that once stood as grand and mighty within them ultimately slip away as distant memories of what was once common and accepted. For all your shortcomings Old Snake, you will always remain an old and timeless symbol of heroism. But like like all legends, you exist better in memory."

IGN gave one of it's last perfect scores to Soul Caliber in 1999. Then came along GTA:IV, not two months ago now, which also received a perfect score on both consoles.
As you will all probably already know, MGS4 was released yesterday, and so now many sites which refused to review the game, with the limitations put on pre-release reviews, such as IGN US, have finally gotten round to posting one, and guess what ?
10/10
... No. Scratch that :

Metal Gear Solid 4 has been recieving some fantastic reviews lately. Just take a look at Metacritic and you will see that the average rating of the game is 93/100.
The main complaint with MGS4 is that it might not meet every fan's expectations. But that's only natural for a game as well hyped as this one.
But nevertheless, the general consensus is that most players will have a great time with MGS4.
Here's a look at what various reviewers had to say...
IGN UK gave Metal Gear Solid 4 a 9.9/10.
Now IGN Australia has reviewed the game and they were thoroughly impressed, giving it a 9.5/10.
IGN Au's only complaints regarded Lasting Appeal and Gameplay. They didn't neccessarily think those aspects were bad, just not as "polished" as they could have been.
Overall though, they were very impressed with the game.

"Metal Gear Solid 4 is a masterpiece, arguably the best in the series and though many will fiercely disagree ever so slightly disappointing. About 40% through, our notepad was scarred with breathless superlatives like 'Genius', 'Amazing' and 'Wow!!!' but by the game's conclusion, they'd given way to considered criticism and stark cries of 'WTF?'. Will you enjoy it? Yes, definitely, but while most hardcore fans will adore it, a tiny minority may be left slightly deflated by the weight of th..."
IGN UK have pretty much backed up everything we expected and hoped for, and have written a simply gleaming review for Metal Gear Solid 4, with an equally impressive score. It is relatively low on details, as apparently Konami have forbidden certain topics from being directly addressed. However, what we do learn from the interview is that cutscenes make up around half of the game - maybe those 90-min stories weren't exaggerations after all? Regardless, this looks to be the killer app that PS3 ...
