You're getting help from a robotic dog and you're dodging missiles in a city that's been reduced to rubble. Within minutes of launching into the game's campaign, you're slicing through enemy soldiers and ripping into their spines, you're taking down giant mechs. If nothing else, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance gets credit for knowing its audience. The game's three year journey has created a remarkably fun and engaging experience - even if it's not as polished as it could have been. You've never played a game quite like Rising, and that's a good thing. Additional AR missions supplement the campaign, but those feel quite limited.
Using his trusty Katana blade, it's a blast to run through and slice through enemies.Ĭlocking in at just over five hours, Rising's campaign is quite the limited experience, but what's here is incredibly enjoyable. Leaving the stealth gameplay of previous games behind, Rising is a thrill-a-minute action game that's as over the top as it is fun. There are some issues with background textures, and one of the most stubborn cameras, but Rising is one impressive looking game. A lot happens in Rising, and to the developer's credit, the game handles them quite well.
