Five reasons MGS4 is awesome - in video

Metal Gear showdown
Finally, finally, Snake gets to pilot a Metal Gear. And as if that wasn't cool enough, you then get to use it to fight against another Metal Gear! We won't tell you how or where, but just look at the carnage in this incredible battle and rest assured it's every bit as exhilarating to play as it looks here in the video.

We love the way Metal Gear REX charges RAY with its head and the way the cockpit opening looks just likethe mouth of a dinosaur. Awesome.
