Remember that review restriction flap about "Metal Gear Solid 4"?
Well, some "Metal Gear" superfans told me they want more limits on reviews.
Yesterday, when I went to the Virgin Megastore in Times Square to take photos of all the people waiting in line to meet creator Hideo Kojima, some fans told me they avoided reading most coverage of the game because they didn't want any parts spoiled for them. "I wish there were more restrictions!" said Yascear, the very first person in line to get Kojima's autograph. "Sometimes reviews tell you too much, and I just want to play it on my own,” he said. The others completely agreed.
Readers, what do you think? Should reviewers have more restrictions to save gamers from spoilers? Or should gamers stop themselves from reading reviews beforehand? Do review restrictions matter in the case of "Metal Gear Solid 4," where gamers know they want to buy it regardless of what reviewers might say?
