Can this expiremental spin-off slice through the reputation of its predecessors or is it a dull entry into the franchise? Find out in our review!

While Sunny appears from Guns of the Patriots along with references to the infamous Big Boss, this story is completely separated from the ongoing Metal Gear Solid saga. The story takes a dramatic turn but still finds moments to introduce humor including Raiden wearing a poncho and sombrero to blend in, using a box to hide (sound familiar?), and having his companions scream out his name three times in true dramatic faction when he dies. There is even a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reference complete with the phrases “cowabunga” and “Go Ninja, Go Ninja, Go!” The humor and levity never take away from the story. The plot is accessible enough for new comers while having enough Metal Gear Solid references to please the die-hard fans of the series.  

First mentioned in Sons of Liberty, Sunny makes her return from Guns of the Patriots to aid Raiden in his quest.

The presentation of Metal Gear Rising: Revengance ranges from stellar to lackluster. There are moments in the game where the environments seem to lack the life and energy that the combat and gameplay exhibit. There will be moments where you are slicing through the streets and battlefields surrounded by lifeless backdrops that would have been ground breaking on the Playstation 2. Then there are moments like battling atop of a speeding train or attempting to navigate an underground tunnel in pitch-black darkness while not alerting any enemies that provide depth and variety. Luckily the character design of Raiden steals the show and the beauty of his blade is the true star. The appearance of enemies and Metal Gears are also impressive. Slicing through cyborgs and robots while feasting on their insides is a visual delight and a true addition to the gameplay.

While the environments are lackluster, the boss battles are beautiful.
