This game is without a doubt of the the best looking games if not the best, has one of the best stories, and combines story and gameplay seamlessly like any other game does. Hideo Kojima is a visionary that much is not debatable, and if you think it is debatable i'll take the christian approach and say "shut up you're wrong." (or the republican approach) anyway you slice it this game is memorable and most people will have to play thru numerous times, and not just because you didn't get the story-line. This is in everyway a sequal and can't REALLY be appreciated without previous experience with other metal gear and metal gear solid games. but as a stand-alone game it's very satisfying all the same. with gameplay that looks and plays beautifully you almost get annoyed by the lengthy movie sequences (a lot of people will regardless) cause sneaking AND firefights are both so satisfying that watching the movie takes precious time you could be sneaking up and CQCing someones face! but the movies are SO well done and equally as beautiful i couldn't not set my controller down and watch intrigued but what could happen (and numerous movies are as long if not longer than some movies). this is the end of the solid snake saga so Metal Gear Solid is at an end, which leaves me wondering where Kojima will do next, MGS is his legacy to date and it's almost sad to know it's at an end (a badass, poignant end albeit)
