      Big Boss & Solid Snake are father and son. While their Japanese voice actors Chikao Ôtsuka & Akio Ôtsuka are father and son in real life.
    • Goofs
      In this game, we're told that Para-Medic, the female doctor from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, was Dr. Clark, who Naomi mentioned several times in Metal Gear Solid. However, Naomi always referred to this person as male. This is an unfortunate translation error: the Japanese language provides many gender-neutral terms, so Clark's gender was never specified in the Japanese version of the first game. The "Metal Gear Solid Database" which Konami has released retcons this by claiming Dr. Clark was secretive, and Naomi mistakenly assumed she was male as a result.

    Pefcect ending to a perfect series.

    In my opinion, this is probably the best installment of the Metal Gear Solid saga. Everything that me and definitely a lot of other people hoped for in the series will be a reality. And we were right! Hideo really pulled out all the stops on this one! The graphics were top notch, the AI was excellent, the voice acting was incredible, and of course the weapons, what's a Metal Gear Solid game without the awesome weapons? But the one thing I admire most about this game is the incredibly realistic detail. The detail of this game is so amazing that you might think you are out there yourself. I mean, from big stuff like, gunshot sounds and the way people react when you bump into them to the small stuff like, a drop of rain on the camera, bent grass trampled underfoot, snow getting in your hair, hearing a train far away in the background, if you get close to a building, you can hear the people inside, that kind of stuff. The story is amazing too. Get this game! You won't be disappointed.

    • I'm confused as to the order of the Metal Gear Solid games. Which game comes first and which comes last?
    • Do I need to play the other Metal Gear Solid games to understand the events in MGS4?
    • Snake looks too old to be in his 40's. What's going on?
