Rumor: European mags gush over Metal Gear Solid 4

via Joystiq


News flash: Europeans love Solid Snake. We'll bet you're surprised to read that, so we'll wait until you've regained consciousness to move on ... Okay, good. CVG is reporting via the ever-reliable NeoGAF forums (we think it's this thread, although that's unconfirmed) that the following scores have been given to Metal Gear Solid 4:

• PlayStation Official Magazine (UK): 10/10
• PlayStation Official Magazine (US): 10/10
• PlayStation Official Magazine (Italy): 10/10
• PlayStation Official Magazine (Dutch): 9.6/10
• Level (Sweden): 10/10
• Joypad (France): 19/20
• Jeuxvideo Magazine (France): 18/20

As of this writing, the only confirmed score is the POM UK via Metacritic. And though we wouldn't be surprised if these ended up being the review scores (or pretty close to them) – the MGS brand has been known to rake in high numbers – it's just a forum rumor for now.
