This is probably one of the best prequels I have ever played, the origin of the unforeseen crack that started it all.
If you have played the previous games then you should catch on quick to what is happening but even if you are a new comer you will fit right in aswell. Some games its just hard to find something wrong with it, I mean every game has there flaws but with mgs 3 you sorta just don't want to even recognize them. And that could be one of 2 things, 1 because you are into the story and immersed in the world that's happening around you or 2 you probably are just to busy to even care.
The characters, the story plot, the villians and conspiracy of who is really friend or foe, these are all of the things you would want to have in a big Hollywood action game or even movie and without a doubt, I can say rest assured it does and a whole lot more.
