![]() ![]() After being severely injured, Raiden and Maverick Security set off to expose and defeat Desperado, which is comprised of Samuel Rodriguez (Raiden’s nemesis) and the “Winds of Destruction”, including Sundowner, Mistral and Monsoon. The game begins with Raiden working for Maverick Security and guarding a convoy escorting the Prime Minister of an African Nation, when suddenly, it comes under attack from members of Desperado Enforcement, LLC. Metal Gear Rising may feature the weirdest story of any game in the series or Platinum Games title - and that’s saying a lot. While it’s first and foremost an action game, it’s also a Metal Gear, so to offer anything less than a deep story full of philosophical questions would be a crime. It’s Kamiya-meet-Kojima and damn if it’s not a whole lot of fun. There’s no longer time for soul-searching and lengthy self-reflections, instead replaced with non-stop bloodlust, slicing enemies into millions (almost literally) of little pieces at the drop of a dime. That persona proved to be a universal hit with fans and has been taken a step further with Raiden’s first ever solo-adventure in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. ![]() Lightning Bolt saw a complete transformation in Metal Gear Solid 4, shifting from a white-haired pretty boy to a sword slinging cyborg ninja. After debuting in Metal Gear Solid 2, baring all both emotionally and physically (much to the pleasure of many a female gamer and chagrin of many a male), he was considered a far cry from Solid Snake’s macho disposition and take-no-prisoners attitude from the previous games in the series. It’s unbelievable that Raiden was considered to be something of a wimp less than five years ago. ![]()
