This is what i call next generation! Original and a game which will not be forgotten.You won't regret buying this game.
Graphics: Graphics are really something, since the gameplay graphics are like the cutscenes. I really wish every game had graphics as good as this game. Environments work as good and the reaction of the character is really cool.
Story: If u only played 1 or 2 games of the Metal Gear Series, u will be a bit confused at first, although u will get the hang of it after playing a bit. It isn't complicated, its just that there are many groups which fight vs eachother. Although the story really sinks u in, and is really fun to watch. You always want to know what happens next.
Gameplay: Gameplay is easy once you get the hang of it. Simple and easy to control, u scroll through the weapons with the R2 and other items with the L2. Other controls like crouching and crawling are used by just pressing the X button. Shooting is pretty simple, L1 to aim (if u want) R1 to shoot. those are the basics.
Boss Battles: There are several boss battles which are pretty cool, they're not just shoot and kill, they do take time and concentration of finding the boss and hunting him down or doing something to weaken him then killing him. Although otherwise the boss battles are nice, and they have many interesting things which happen.
Overall this game is a must-have for PS3 owners ALTHOUGH not for people who don't like watching cinematics, it really ruines the story. Whoever like sneaking games this is a game for u. Others who like to just attack and shoot, u will like this game. This is one of the games which will always be remembered for a very very long period of time.
BTW The Directer Hideo Kojima IS thinking of Metal Gear Solid 5. It has been written all over the news in Japanese Magazines.Hideo Kojima said that he wants to continue the story, although there are many years to come.
