What a messy game. So many weird twists and turns, bad bosses like Raven, and despite all of that it still remains enjoyable. A ton of mechanics with little time fully realize all of them. It almost feels like the game has too much content and squanders it for spectacle. It is glorious spectacle, to be sure, but I would've preferred a more focus on gameplay than a hurried rush to end of the Metal Gear saga at the time. High highs, and low lows, but still worth playing.
