One Of The Best Games Ever Made Agree 50% with the bad part though... The Storyline does end ='(
The story-line is very involving, much of the game is in cinematics, like Kingdom Hearts II. It takes a lot of time to explain how things are and why they're happening.
For someone who hasn't played any of the other MGS's (completely) I think it did a very good job at keeping you with the program, it made me feel like there is somethings I'm supposed to know every now and then but it wasn't usually too important. Mostly I just didn't know much about groups and the importance of some previous people. Most of it seems to clear up though.
The multiplayer is really fun, I like the other more different game matches, which are the ones besides the usual deathmatch and team-deathmatch (although they're still fun) I have still yet to play online much, so I still don't know what is obtainable from it or how much more there is to it.
If they do make more MGS games after that (which it does give a hint about that in the SP game) I will be looking forward to them and will definitely buy them.
Right now I just got to borrow the first 3 games from a friend and play those through :P then play through MGS4 again. looking forward to it =D
