This is a fun and challenging game, but ultimately flawed. The combat system shines, but gets very repetitive. Also, the camera sucks and the game absolutely needed a dedicated defense or dodge button. The item system is also mess. If you run out of lives, you're basically screwed in some boss fights. Boss fights are good, but nothing really made me care about the characters. Actually, nothing really made me care about the story. I do like the use of the MG franchise here, but it's sad to see such a flawed game as something canon. And the soundtrack is just pure cringe. In the end this can be a fun and challenging game to pass your time, due to the combat being cool, but its flaws makes it hard for me to recommend it to anyone. Even to MGS fans.
