That's been my understanding from day one; bare-bones playable version with MGS and lots of paid downloads. “Further investigation seems to suggest that it’s a five-map ’starter pack’ which you can extend with paid downloads, and that a full version with lots more content will be released sometime in the future.”

Initially it was going to be a standalone game but it would appear they gave up on that idea. There’s a lot of confusion over it.

A bare-bones 'starter pack'? You're probably right though, morriss - it sounds like they've been asked not to mention it. Perhaps Tom could clear that up as well while you've got his attention, Pat? :-) The version of MGO included with MGS4 is basically a glorified demo, is it not? A bare-bones ’starter pack’?

It doesn't exaplain the fact that the word 'MGO' wasn't featured in any review to date. /drowns kitten No it doesn’t, Blerk.

I bet the review code supplied didn't actually include it. I guess that solves the whole “why no mention of MGO” thing, then. I bet the review code supplied didn’t actually include it.

The day I let some organisation's opinion of a game sway me is the day I give up video games. Anyone who owns or has played all the Metal Gear Solid games will get MGS4 regardless, so why bother wasting time on what reviewers say? I know you might think you have to... but you really don't!
