First of all, the graphics were amazing. And the controls were outstanding. Being able to aim and move at the same time was invaluable. Also the camo was pretty sweet, albeit tricky in certain situations. The levels were really cool. And I liked the old school level mixed in. The other thing that was really cool, was being able to choose between a ton of different weapons, as well as being able to customize almost all of those weapons with scopes, handles for support, and laser sights. The laser sight and the handles are probably the most efficient upgrades in the game. (I would use the M4, and a Sniper rifle if you're not worried about kills.)You could choose between stealthy and run and gun methods of playing, each of which had their own risks and rewards. But the story was weak. And some of the boss battles were a little dumb. I also did not like Kojima's moments of comic relief. Like the Mk II, and the guy who crapped his pants. Overall, I think it was just as good if not better than GTA IV. But one edge this has over GTA IV is that the emblems,and different difficulties, give this game a huge replay value. I beat the game three times in the first month of owning it. And if you're into that sort of thing, it has a decent online feature.
