there isnt much i can say about this that i didnt already for mgs1. the story is (mostly) great, the dialogue is (mostly) well written, and the overall aesthetic is strong, but it's all in the face of annoying, frustrating, downright awful gameplay.

the fatman boss is really fun and combines stealth with action in a way none of the other fights do. i wish all the bosses were like that, just like i wish all of the bosses in mgs1 were like the minigun fight. but kojima had other plans
