Disappointing, too flashy and trying too hard to be extreme. It's like playing an anime.

They really tried to hard to make it extreme and over the top, but it just falls flat. It's like playing an anime, with people flying through the air, lots of yelling, bad voice acting, and strange exposition. The heavy metal music is terrible and just makes the whole game feel too intense.
In regards to series canon, Raiden inexplicably goes from being anti-war and hating his violent side in MGS4 to being totally okay with it and being all gung-ho about slicing people in half. In that respects the story is thematically totally out of place with the rest of the series.
The characters were all flat and I didn't really care about them. None of the bosses had any depth. The game didn't really tell me who they were, why they were with the bad guys, or why I should care.
The story is pretty lackluster too.
