So far i've done an hours worth of MGS3 and i think i've played about 5 minutes of it. For some reason i'm not surprised, Hideo if you want to make a movie take it to Hollywood, this is the videogame industry we're dealing with here.

Better bloody improve soon, i actually want to play this game eventually

No because i wanted a video game not an interactive movie. I was merely hoping i'd get to play more of this game then in the prequels, not too much to ask i feel. That is all

Why? Because you didn't want it to be Metal Gear? This is similar to all the people who are no doubt going to go out and buy GT4 and say "wtf, it has no damage in it".

No excuses at this stage, if you want a game to be something different to what it is, play something different.

The Tanker level was great but i got bored of the shell due to having to backtrack and all that. Either that or the fact the worst game character ever in Raiden just automatically made me hate it

The level design for Metal Gear games has been top notch. The Shell was 'samey' but there were so many different rooms and different challenges.

If a game is difficult and has a good story I am usually there.

Still playing the same game no matter what level you play it at though. Just more enemies and no radar making it harder but at end of the day still the same level layout to play through

Which then means you're left with a 5 hour or so game. Not really value for money, although maybe i am a little biased as i'm used to 60 hour plus RPG epics

I really enjoyed the first Splinter Cell game, it didn't seem to be so unintresting and linear as Pandorra Tomorrow. It'd probably be different if I went back to it though, I'm sure I'd notice a lot more how thick the AI really was but I certainly enjoyed it more than MGS2 which is one of the worst Xbox games I've ever bought along with Morrowind.

Just not my cup of tea I guess. I hate cut scenes and the restricting camera angles and rather pap stealth game play were just the icing on the preverbial dog t*rd.

I agree with Lakers - I love my Twin Snakes, and the cut-scenes etc are great - but when this comes at the expense of gameplay rather than alongside it, it gets a little boring. Hence why I love RPGs, and find Metal Gear a bit frustrating at times.
