This game is amazing. At first, it was a bit hard to get used to as the controls SLIGHTLY differ from those versions on previous consoles, but once you get used to the game-play and controls, the game is perfect. It's not a simple case of shoot everything in your sight - you actually need to plan and be strategic in order to progress the game. The graphics were amazing, and I'm only on an SDTV, so i'd love to see what it's like on a HDTV. The soundtrack is good, the boss battles are good, and there's an excellent choice of weapons, and unlike previous versions, you can easily buy ammo without having to wonder around looking for ammo boxes.
The only things I didn't like were;
The lack of codec contacts (Not saying anything more b/c I don't wanna spoil names)
The cut scenes can drag on a bit, but these can mostly be skipped.
I'd prefer it if most of the game was set inside, like MGS1, rather than outside.
