I am not even gonna comment on the short length of the game.. it was known before the game was released so its not a point to criticise... I am really truly sorry for the direction MGS has taken... i liked metal gear for its linear pathway gameplay... yes and I liked having a radar ... why?! because its a game its not real.. all of these things are the things that made MGS such an original game having something of its own... linear class gameplay... going hand in hand with the amazing graphics and great story telling... thats MGS .. MGS is not far cry .. even far cry has a radar coz its a game ... ur not inside the camp urself to sense things around u without any sort of aid !! this new control scheme just sucks... its like kojima is saying .. i have my own control scheme the whole time .. other games have another scheme .. im just gonna switch !!! WHYYYY... the R2, L2 menu were some of the things that made this game what it was.....in addition, since this is now an open world game ... the graphics on the ps3 suck ... this game is for PC or NEXT GEN CONSOLES period,,,, on the ps3 it feels like a port from another platform... and snake's figure during the gameplay looks HORRIBLE, pixelated and blurry.. (compared to snake in MGS 4) ... its all extraction shit and its boring and repetitive... it even does not give u enough motivation to rescue whoever it was u were supposed to rescue...... the ability of snake now sprinting like a man on fire without getting tired is crazy and unrealistic !!!!! heather in silent hill 3 got tired and slower the more u sprint !!!! and wait a minute... were those only 2 soldiers guarding chico at the prison camp?!?!?! 2 soldiers?!?!?! give me a minute.. that was the easiest extraction ever !!!!!!!! and kiefer sutherland makes snake sound like ... like ... he is not even snake ... doesnt match the character at allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
gameplay: 6/10 (the new control scheme sucks, kojima should have given the option to continue with the old controls scheme or try a new one)
graphics: 4/10 (ps3)
storytelling: 0
unrealistic game : 10/10
kiefer sutherland: destroyed the legacy of this game
i do not regret buying this game... i am just sorry it turned out to be another game ... not mgs
