“This is an outstanding book”
“Very Pleased! This is an outstanding book. Lots and lots of attention to detail. There are beautiful maps and the text is very dense. This really adds to the experience of playing the game. There is also a lot of very nice artwork and detailed backgrounds on all the characters and weapons in the game. It is really a lot more than just a walkthrough.”

“Highly, HIGHLY recommended”
“THE Guide to purchase along with Metal Gear Solid 4! As a fan of Metal Gear since its debut 20 some years ago, I have to say I have never seen a guide this impressive and detailed for an MGS game, and I have them all. This is THE guide guys and gals to purchase with your copy of the PS3-exclusive epic, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. The hardcover guide covers literally every nook and cranny of MGS4; wether it be the single-player story, Metal Gear Online, full inventory list of weapons and items you can acquire, secrets (unlockables, play-through emblems, hidden goodies in-game), an AMAZING bonus litho from Yoji Shinkawa (godfather of Metal Gear’s distinct art style) and a written intro by Mr. Hideo Kojima himself. Trust me fellow MGS fans, with this guide you will be like Solid Snake himself… legendary. You can’t go wrong with it. I highly, HIGHLY recommend it.”
