Beat and enjoyed parts 1 and 2. Never played 3. With 4 coming out, should I play 3 now or wait until after I play and beat 4 since 3 is a prequel?

even though it's a prequel, it ties alot of things into the first two installments that went unmentioned. It i vital to know about the story of Big Boss. Play it, on very easy mode. You'll be able to whip through it in 20 some odd hours.

By the way, 3 is my favorite in the series. Gamespot underrated snake eater.

Definitely play MGS3 I think it's just about as great as the the 1st Metal Gear, just like the first responder says it will tie in a bit even though it's a prequel. And you will through it in no time since you've recently played 1 and 2, it's an amazing game.

Go 1-2-3. The story will make much more sense. I know alot of times people don't want to play prequels because they've already happened with regards to storyline, but MGS3 is definitely on prequel that was done right. It fits in perfectly after you beat the first two.
