Actually the first mission, if i'm not mistaking, is the best. The surroundings and especially the sounds are astonishing. Like one of those really well made shoot-em-up war games that are out there.

But from the "Shadow Moses" mission (mission 4 i think) and on it feels like the creators loses their creativity and imagination and i ended up playing something that reminded me of a new neat looking version of the first MGS. A little disappointing.

Also, the story started out great, but soon got deep, very VERY deep. We're talking beyond Final Fantasy here. Mostly because the story centers around the 3 former games, and if you haven't played all the games or just can't remember the story behind each one of them you're just screwed. Just like i was. I quickly decided to stop figuring out the meaning of it all and just played the game, or else i would've been playing with a huge headache.

But the worst part about the story was all the loving they managed to squeez in allover. Even the smallest characters had to have some kind of relationship going on with somebody. It was gross and didn't fit in at all in this game and story. We just don't need that kind of crap in a macho game such as MGS. :mad:

And then there was the voice of Solid Snake. It bothered med instantly. I'm sure they wanted him to sound like a badass Snake Plissken grandpa, but he sounded more like someone choking on his own vomit.



But when a gameplay is as good as this you can forgive a lot. ;)
I have all of the MGS games, minus the Ac!d ones. And I played them enough to remember the story from them.

That game, and Resistance would be the only games I would buy a PS3 for. The question for me though, is are two games worth it? :(
