Obviously there has been alot of controversy over this title. So much so that it has split the world in two.

This game is likely to get the award for most hyped game of all time.

It has drawn remarks such as 'Good title but inevitabily doesn't do justice to the MGS name' all the way to 'Worth the wait' and 'Vast improvement on MGS.'

So what do we think?

Personally I think this game was a bust. After reading every game review and playing with the tantalising demo, I couldn't wait for the day to arrive. I rushed into the town center to find many an eager school boy waiting. I ran home so much so that my feet barely touched the floor.
I had completed it in a day and had no amusment in replaying. I saw it as no different to the demo just with different arenas and some varied weapons. I did not share a single tear when I sold it the next day knowing that my demo was far more interesting than the game will ever be.

This is the marmite factor of the world over again? You either love it or you hate it.

Which one are you? Think about it.

Well i thought that it was a great game, excellent guns, excellent everything except the fact that it is less than a tenth of a game. If it was anything as long as gta then it would truly be the best game of all time but it is way too short making it really really bad for some strange reason which i happen to agree with. Plus, you're right it is really boring trying to complete it twice, if you try it on normal, easy or very easy it is too easy you can just run through it in 4 hours, but if you try it on hard very hard extreme or european extreme then it is impossible. Their is no happy median!
