Metal Gear Solid 4 - New Japanese Imports

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Snake's an old man but unlike mere mortals who have aged and grown unsteady, he staunchly refuses the rocking chair. He ain't going out like that. In the latest Metal Gear Solid game from Kojima and crew, Snake treks around the globe in search of his foe, Liquid Ocelot. By using nifty equipment such as the SolidEye and the Metal Gear Mk. II, Snake overcomes his old bones, his weathered lungs, and his impending senility to become the greatest grumpy-old-man-action-hero the world has ever known.
