Konami have opened their beginners guide to MGS4 site, here. In a cruel twist of irony, you’ll also need to be something of an expert at Japanese to get the most out of it. There’s plenty in there, including history timelines and a full character knowledge base, but we’d recommend sticking to the free PSN download if Japanese isn’t your strong point.
The site is full of spoilers, too.
