The New Beggining.
I´ve already played Snake Eater, and loved it, but with the online mode, it takes an already amazing experience into completely absurd levels.
The story is one of the most important things,as a person who doesn´t know anything about the series can understand and play it like someone who plays metal gear for years. It has a nice light comedy, and funny easter eggs, but with a sad ending. It´s the perfect mix of comedy and drama, as this was the game that almost got me crying, but also also made me laugh like a madman.
The controls have a little issue, because when in battle, it takes a bit of time to turn around and aim, but this is a stealth game, so battle is not the most important thing. But even if you like being in the thick of the battle, it´s also the game for you.
The graphics are amazing, and the cutscenes are great. There are some smart Boss Battles, with some innovative ideas. For example, a boss in which all the living beings you killed during the game come after you for revenge, or a boss thats hidden in the jungle sniping you, and you have to find him before you die.
It´s an amazing game and its worth every cent. Actually, its worthy buying a Playstation 2/3 just to play this game. Just buy it now!
