It was released on 360, PS2, PS3, DS, Wii and PSP and multiple mobile platforms which gave it a larger target audience.

MGS4 has shipped 4.5 million copies on just one platform. If they'd gone multi-platform I'd guesstimate 25 million would have been sold and Kojima-san could have taken over the world.

It's better the further you play and the more powers you get. But nothing beats Rogue Squadron and Rebel Strike.

This game is boring compared to other SW titles, and that apprentice of Vader doesn't really look like much of a Dark Jedi! And DAMN i hate how you first go pwn everyone as Vader, then go play that little sucker. GIEF VADER!
