Graphics- ok start with the good. Character detail is arguably the best thats ever been seen. Real time cut seens are a treat to watch and blend beautifuly into gameplay. However the background textures seem a step down from the characters. youll find some pretty bland textures but most look pretty decent. The last act looks amazing in a futuristic setting. 9.5/10

story- epic for starters. if you have been a part of the metal gear universe this will be a satisfying conclusion to an amazing yet extremelly complicated story. If you havent, this game is gonna be a little harder to get into and the lenghty cut scenes may bore you to death. Even as an experienced metal gear player some scenes seemed way to long, especially the mission briefings which break up the action quite a bit at times. 9/10

gameplay- the gameply is extremelly satisfying no matter which route you choose to take. ive played through this game both in a stealthy non-lethal way and also shooting everything that walks. Both are fun and will leave you wanting more. And thats about the only problem... you WILL want way more. The game seems kinda short and when you add the lengthy cut scenes at times it feels more like a movie. It took me abouut 16 hours the first play through which means about 10 hours of actual gaming. 10/10

online- havent played to much so far but is very satisfying at times. Deathmatch and team deathmatch arent all that good relative to some of the other shooters out there but the sneaking type is pretty cool. The whole metal gear online is kinda a hassle and makes me think why they just didnt put online in the regular sense. 8/10
