Improvements need to be made, but Metal Gear Rising has already established itself to be an action game well worth buying.

Fact is, when Revengeance is firing on all cylinders it’s a great, albeit short (six hours, tops) action game. [April 2013, p78]

Its shortness will dissuade many, but cut deeper and an innovative parry system impresses. [Apr 2013, p.70]

El MTGR es un juegazo, Raiden es lo mejor del juego, la jugabilidad está buenísima, el combate con los jefes son de los más épicos que ví, y la historia está buena, lo único que no me convence es la duración (pero como es un spinn off se entiende un poco) y los entrenamientos que están al re pedo, pero es un juegazo súper entretenido y con DLCS que están muy bien.

It is absolutely not the QTE slop that people who didn't play it will tell it is.

Pure, unadulterated adrenaline. The way the phenomenal soundtrack dynamically syncs up with the action as the beat drops is absolute perfection. Great characters, an unbelievably good soundtrack, and gameplay that is just pure fun. And I LOVE the political message of this game, LOVE.

The Metal Gear myth has never before appeared so agile, fresh and youthful, but more than the setting its Platinum's virtuoso coders that shine throughout, the object slicing a marvel of high-speed 3D manipulation. A technical masterpiece, Rising offers a funfair ride approximation of Konami's brooding series, but one with more than enough capacity for the Bayonetta veteran to express their dexterous expertise.

Revengeance only falters in its overall length. There's plenty of replay value, of course, but this is one of the rare times when gameplay can't quite overcome the lack of a meaty core experience. Still, this is a game not to be missed, folks.

At the end of the day, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance's greatest accomplishment is that that it assures the world that Platinum's bag of tricks is deeper than anyone thought. This game provides a fresh take on the stylish/character action genre, and it comes off as a high-tier entry in the Metal Gear series.

It's such a shame that the singleplayer takes just a few hours to complete. Because it's a fantastic game to play, probably the best hack and slash title in a science fiction setting. Raiden shows us how cool he is.

Revengeance can be summed up in one word: "fun." Well, maybe two words are better: "stupid fun." As was shown with DmC, there are still a lot of fans out there who want to have button-mashing fun and be rewarded with carnage in its most primal form.

For better and for worse Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is a game as crazy and nonsensical as its title, but because of that strong core, it’s one that just about makes the cut.

For a series known for having some of the most memorable villains and boss fights in video game history, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance has some of the most pathetic, bland villains I’ve seen. I didn’t fear them for being ferocious, I feared them because I knew how poorly designed each fight was and how infuriating the next one would be.

MGR Revengeance has good set pieces and even better OST, but the combat system is garbage. The camera is broken, enemy hit registration is wonky, and your attack button is also your parry button, which is horrible game design, as games like Sekiro and Lies of P understood and delivered on this concept in a much better way. The story is nothing short of moronic, the visual animations aged horribly along with the voice acting, and the villains are written like baboons. Nevertheless, I would still recommend a playthrough, as the boss fights do kind of make up for the glaring flaws, even if they're pretty easy (except for Monsoon who is a bit annoying).

Played this game recently. The combat is really strong, game can be difficult. The graphics are washed out though

Bleh. The key point to Revengeance is the combat, and while it's not as good as Devil May Cry, it comes close. It's badass, but it's not outstanding; you use light and heavy attacks, but no dodge button, which is dumb, but you normally cut through enemies fast enough for them to hit you, and that sometimes takes away the challenge to the game. However the combat is the only thing I could find that was good about this game. The story is worthless, the stealth mechanics are stupid, and the boss fights are repetitive and bland. The combat is satisfying, but the bad design choices make this game one big meh. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance gets a 4/10.

ok, the reviews from mainstream media on this game are bought and paid for, thats for sure, if you want an example of a publisher buying good reviews look no further than this game, its not an awful game but it is nowhere near an 8 and its not what it was supposed to be when it was announced, it was a game that was given up on and ressurected, and is not better for it, my main gripes with this game are, a horrible story with laughable voice acting, boring environments, a terrible parry system, it should be mapped to an unused button, and worst of al is the cutting mechanic, it is almost great, but the things you cut have stupid physics, like you cut a palm tree and it falls to the ground like it was made of styrofoam, the leaves of it perfectly still, it looks like it was carved out of a piece of foam rather than an actual tree, then the worst part is objects you cut just evaporate after a few seconds in a very lame way, you will be having fun cutting something into pieces and it just disapears in a very "video game that cant handle its own mechanic" kind of way, i get that you cant have a million objects on screen but it for sure could have been done in a better way than this, the grapics are nothing to write home about, this is just a very mediocre game, i got it for 5 bucks and played it once, will never look at it again and would rather have the 5 bucks
