EGM Will Not Be Reviewing MGS4... - Jun 03, 2008 05:19
Due to Konami' s limitations imposed on their reviews.


To recap: Konami are imposing restrictions on what publications can and cannot talk about when reviewing Metal Gear Solid 4. No mention of 90-minute cutscenes please, and while you' re at it, no talky-talky about install sizes either, K? IGN are cool with that. EGM, refreshingly, are not. Due to " limitations Konami wanted to impose on our comments" , the editorial team decided to refrain from giving the game a score, and in lieu of a " review" posted a lengthy roundtable discussion about the game instead. It' s hardly a gloved fist on an Olympic dias, but it is nice seeing somebody do something about such an...unsavoury practice.


The information itself is far from confidential now, but I can respect them for upholding their journalistic freedom.
