Summary: I?m new to the MGS mythology, but my early thoughts on this particular title is that it?s pretty amazing. The cutscenes and graphics are some of the best I?ve seen so far. Sometimes I catch myself just looking around and marveling at how deep the environments are. The gameplay is opened ended enough such that you can accomplish your mission in a couple different ways. Lots of gadgets and weapons to play with as you get deeper. So if you want to run and gun, you can do that. If you want to take a break, you can do the stealth thing. A highly recommended title.

Summary: I?ve never been a loyal of the metal gear series as I didn?t like all the sneaking around. As I turned this game on the visuals immediately caught my attention. The graphics in this game are amazing. The cutscenes/story is very engaging as well. The gameplay itself is different from the other metal gear titles as it does not force you to sneak around. I was able to beat most of the game using open fire and minimal sneaking. Recommend this game to everyone.
