I hadn't played a metal gear game until I picked up rising, I thought it would be a fun hack and slash game and I got that and then some.

Everything ever has been said about this game, to the characters being incredibly iconic, to the music being one of the best osts in all of gaming, but I think it's interesting just how much the music plays to the characters. For example Jetstream Sam, one of the best characters in this game has already a good amount of backstory behind him but having his theme be about how he's lost what he was fighting for is something I don't think I've seen in a game before.

This game is one of the most fun I've ever played and I'm glad I got to experience it and hopefully play the other metal gear games.
