PopMatters MGS4 Review (English)

And now here is the point I move beyond an abstract appreciation of the game to a more straightforward “story-appreciation”. Much is made in the game that neither Liquid nor Solid’s genetic code can be used as the key to unlock the System, because although they are both clones of Big Boss, they are not an exact match; for example, their DNA has been altered and tampered with to “make them age faster”. But then it’s revealed that Solidus and his biometric data were good enough to unlock the System, and despite the game’s feeble protestations that Solidus was designed to be “the perfect clone”, we know that his DNA had been altered as well, especially considering he, too, aged prematurely, so what’s going on here? [B]What the hell is Vamp doing in this story anyway?[/B] Aside from the fact that there’s no real reason for him to be there, it was suggested in Sons of Liberty that Vamp had a vendetta against Ocelot, or “Crazy Ivan”, so why, or how, would he have ended up joining forces with him? No explanation is ever provided, and those Vamp-oriented explanations that are belched up are deeply prosaic and unimaginative;[B] they have nanomachines for [B]everything[/B] nowadays[/B].

Finally, I’ve read a great deal of speculative fiction in which someone, after an organ transplant of some kind, is possessed by the limb’s original owner, so I’ve always been able to take the plot point of Ocelot being possessed in stride. The concept, however, that Ocelot was only pretending to be possessed by his arm in an attempt to fool most of the world is straight out of South Park, and I basically think this is the dumbest plot point in the series, taking the title from Otacon’s “I had an affair with my stepmother and drove my father to suicide” confessional in Sons of Liberty.

No doubt I’ve forgotten quite a few other interesting moments, but these should be enough to get us started.

MGS4 9/10
