Four new bosses for you to watch in action

The 2007 Leipzig Games Convention is once again the center of the gaming world these days as all the Metal Gear fans drool, cry and laugh at the same time as they've heard that a new trailer is available. You can watch it below and be astonished by four fresh new bosses, revealed by the superb video. These creatures, as they cannot be called otherwise, seem to be half human and half cyborgs, as the famous warriors MGS fans have fought in the past were turned into different versions of the Metal Gear.

The four super enemies that Snake will encounter are Crying Wolf, Raging Raven, Laughing Octopus and Screaming Mantis. Glad to see good old Psycho Mantis from the Metal Gear Solid PSX title back, as he was one troubled and troublesome fellow. Each of these creatures uses its special abilities, so we get to see the Laughing Octopus crushing soldier with its four deadly tentacles, while Mantis mind-controls the victims making them commit suicide.

Snake is only a spectator in this grotesque show, but he's as brave and manly as ever, even if the years have passed. Raven also catches the public's attention by firing a couple of rockets at the escaping soldiers, as he flies away. By far the most fascinating creature is the Crying Wolf... He reminds me of some of the monsters I had fought in Final Fantasy VII, a couple of metallic wolves that were extremely agile and packed quite a punch.

That's about all you'll see in the trailer, but the words are very poor when it comes to describing one of the best upcoming games. In case we had our doubts, they're all cleared now and MGS 4 will surely be a hit, no matter what console it surfaces on, be it PS3 or Xbox 360.
