An utter masterpiece of a game and storytelling that encapsulates what video game can be as an art, a top 10 game of all time for me, the best stealth game ever, despite controls being bad and playing on RSPC3 due to limited availability however I have played at least 5 times on other consoles including Xbox one and PS Vita.

This game has great game and level design which allws varied areas which are generally allowed to be taken in any route by any player, with incredibly varied and immersive game mechanics.

I love the game even though I am not all that good at it and though I played on hard and in my one playthrough I played 40 hours because i'd keep quitting and leaving when I fail, that's my own fault but would take less time if I adapted and went guns blazing whcih is just as fun as the stealth.

The only thing that I really hate is the controls, they're annoying and not very accessible at all; Further the game does get a bit boring to me at the mountain levels, however that is it.

The story, a prequel to the four prior metal gear games and origin story to big boss is perfect, we see the beginnings of why he became as he is but still not teh full story which was expanded in MGS PO, PW, GZ and V.

Supporting cast of The Fox group, EVA, Ocelot, The Boss an Volgin are also incredible parts of the game, and I could watch the cutscenes and codex 1000s of times

honestly a masterpiece. I can't ait for the remake with better graphics and hopefully more of the mgsV gameplay

A true masterclass

9.5/10

A Definite Buy when the Collection releases
