It is, quite simply, the greatest emotional artistic experience so far created in this medium. It isn't my favourite game, but nonetheless stands alone as a masterpiece of story telling, action and emotion. Gameplay stands tall, as does the graphical and audio quality, voice acting is uniformally brilliant, character development extraordinary. The main plot is as mad and beautiful as ever, and the finale is a heart tugging, soul rendering piece of genius.
The game takes its place among the pantheon of games which not only influence but stand alone as true examples of pure expressionism and talent in the video game market. With so many games aimed at casual audiences, this magic work maintains hardcore gaming's high standard, bringing it to an artistic peak.
Having just finished it, i'm a little stunned and shocked. Please, go back and play the others if you haven't already, and then finish Snake's series with this.
