Loved it, even though I think they tried too hard to explain everything in the franchise. That's this game's biggest mistake. The ending given to Solid Snake was super satisfactory though, and I think it is the high point of this narrative. The entire endgame was actually pretty amazing, having some of the best scenes I ever saw in a videogame (I'm looking at you, Microwave Corridor...)
The gameplay is awesome and I loved the level design with the super open and often chaotic areas, but the actual lack of gameplay time is actually very disappointing and it symbolizes a huge waste of potential. I believe this is what keeps me from giving it a higher rating.
This was the game that made me get a PS3 last year, just so I could play the entire MGS franchise, and despite not being as good as the previous entries, I still think it was a worthwhile and amazing experience even with it's many notable flaws.
