Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance unsheathes an action-packed, yet imperfect, experience (review)

During the first few hours of Konami’s adrenaline-soaked adventure Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, you’ll use missiles as platforms to jump toward a helicopter so you can slice it in half with your overpowered sword. You’ll body slam a multistory-tall metal gear, one of the franchise’s eponymous giant walking tanks, like a hulking pro wrestler. And you’ll duel against a flamboyant Spanish cyborg atop a train speeding through a pitch-black tunnel.
