Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

So this weekend I went out and treated myself to a Playstation 3 and a little game entitled Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. All I have to say this has been a pretty good investment thus far (more so then Turok, NHL 09, & Rainbow Six Vegas 2).

Visually this game is flawless. I mean during some of the cut scenes (which there is a reported 90 hours of) you can't believe your eyes. My only problem is with the TV Channels in the beginning of the game and the scenes with the eggs. Why did I need those?

The controls are pretty basic and just like all the other MGS games.

Story wise I am only on the second act so I really can't comment about it so far.

My only real problem with it is the save points. Why must I wait until the end of a "chapter" to save huh Konami? Why can't I save at one of the MILLION cut scenes you have through out the game? I may be a video game nerd, but I do have a life and maybe I want to be somewhat green and turn my system off when I'm not playing it (yes it is a "vampire" system though).

Also to get the some of the emblem's one must:

Big Boss: Successfully complete the game on the Boss Extreme difficulty without dying, instigating no alerts, killing no enemies (including Bosses), using no life recovery items, using no stealth suit or bandanna special items (can possess, but not activate), and with a completion time of less than 5 hours.

Fox: Successfully complete the game on the Naked Normal or higher difficulty without dying, instigating no more than five alerts, killing no enemies (including Bosses), using no life recovery items, using no stealth suit or bandanna special items (can possess, but not activate), and with a completion time of less than 6 hours.

Fox Hound: Successfully complete the game on the Big Boss Hard or higher difficulty without dying, instigating no more than three alerts, killing no enemies (including Bosses), using no life recovery items, using no stealth suit or bandanna special items (can possess, but not activate), and with a completion time less than 5 hours and 30 minutes.

Come on really?
