Metal Gear Solid 4, one of the greatest action games EVER!

The games receive an Action Game Score shown with stars. No stars being the lowest score, Five stars the highest. We score a game not based on how good it is, but how good an ACTION game it is. For example: Tombraider is an excellent 3D action-adventure game, but it is more puzzle and platforming then action, so it would score about two-three stars. While a simpler 2D game like Metal Slug would score four-five stars for it's non stop action and explosives.
