Metal Gear Rising Revengeance went backwards compatible yesterday. Just a heads up that you can grab it for £2.39 new (or Grainger have it for £1.99 used).
Players assume control of Raiden, protagonist of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and supporting character in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. A key gameplay feature for the game is titled zan-datsu, which involves "cutting" through enemies and "taking" parts from the bodies of dismembered cyborgs and robots. Rising's stealth elements will emphasize Raiden's considerable speed and agility through what Matsuyama describes as "hunting stealth." Unlike the "waiting stealth" of previous titles, in which players remained hidden and avoided combat, players in Rising will instead quickly stalk their enemies and use acrobatic maneuvers to stay out of sight while closing in. This ties in with the game's zan-datsu feature, allowing them to prey upon enemies to obtain weapons, items, and energy.
Features Rising's stealth elements will emphasize Raiden's considerable speed and agility through what Matsuyama describes as "hunting stealth." Gameplay will focus on two key elements: swordfighting, and a style of stealth that is more fast-paced and action-oriented. "Cutting" entails sophisticated swordplay that lets players engage in third person melee combat, as well as precisely slash enemies and objects "at will" along a geometrical plane using a "free slicing" mode.

Can anyone recommend this? Currently playing The Phantom Pain. Only ones I havent played is Rising and 4. Bring 4 to Xbox please microsoft, really want to play it.

It's nothing like other Metal Gears, this is basically Bayonetta on steroids but I still wholly recommend it.

Never played Bayonetta but will give Rising a go when done with 5.

I hate to say it but you are missing out big time if you haven't played 4 yet. I hope you will be able to get the chance to play it soon. Its really tough to choose which is my favourite between 1 and 4. Rising is a completely different experience but a very enjoyable one and you definitely can't go wrong for £2.

1 is my favourite and enjoying 5 right now. Heard great things about 4 but grudging buying a PS3 for 1 game. Will prob buy Rising when Im done with 5 but will be a while, the game is massive.
Can only hope they bring out a legacy version on Xbox One one day!

Cheers... Didn't really give this a proper chance back in the good old LoveFilm days (*sniff*), so might as well give it another shot at this price.

Good luck trying to beat the boss Monsoon. What a painful fight.
Good game, probably the best from Platinum Games.
