Some people enjoy running in and gunning everything down, but this game is not about that. It tests your skill of patience as you hide as guards walk by. Of course, running in and gunning everything down is an option but I find that it takes away from the whole experience of the game. The even have a mortar in the game just to taunt you. The game is all about how many kills you don't make, putting them to sleep is always one of the best options The cut-scenes may be lengthy but if you watch them you will find the story is very in depth. I recommend playing the first three games first as this is just a continuation of Snake's compelling story. The game is kind of difficult to understand if you don't. Without giving anything away, this game is awesome from head to toe if played in the right manner. By that i mean using stealth and only using the tranquilizer.
