Ok im going to say it right now, You need to have knowledge of the other MGS games to understand this. This game is about a man named David(codename Solid Snake) and he has to find out what his brother is planing(his name is Liquid Ocelot) Thats about as much as the story I will say so I dont reveal too much. Their are 5 acts in the game an in each act your in a different area so their is diversity within the game levels. But you have to do a 3 min install to the game everytime you beat the act. You also have a variety of weapons you can use, You an customize your favorite weapon to give you an edge on the battle field. You also have a suit called the Octocamo which will blend in with its surroundings to make you virtually invisible. Snake can use many moves in battle to help him, Which is called CQC(Close Quarters Combat) which you can choke till they knock out, Disarm them, or throw to the ground. Their is about 9 moves you can do with CQC. Snake can also "Hold people up" when you get behind someone and aim at them when your close and not seen you will tell him to "Stick it up" and they will throw their weapon away. You can steal their items as well when you hold a person up. This game isnt a Splinter Cell game so dont expect to do something "One Way" with its big enviorment you can engage the enemy anyway you want. The game has the best boss battles a game could have, Some you have to think logically rather than instinctivly. All in all this game is really really good and is fun, But some cutscenes are long but wont deter you away from it.
