    A masterpiece from Kojima

    An amazing game from one of the best video game directors Hideo Kojima. This is final game for him and for Big Boss aka Naked Snake from MGS 3. This huge open world game never before seen in MGS game. Ground Zeroes was cakewalk compared to this game.

    I am just at the start but it is a great game. The controls are tight. It is going to be so much fun building my home base. Just knocking people out and sending them back to base for upgraded is awesome. It's a fun game and a great stress reliever.

    This is the best game of the year. So much content for a single game. Allows you to be stealthy or go in guns a blazing. Highly recommend this game over any other game out there right now.

    Another gem from Kojima. Huge open word, lots of ways to solve your missions. Go in guns blazing or creep around and leave before your noticed. Game is gorgeous and will prolly take most people over 40 hrs to complete. Also a ton of side stuff!

    To begin and end this review, I absolutely love placing enemies and items on a balloon. And it is absolutely fun tinkering with the items given for every mission. only issue, shocking and bit of a meh ending, which is weird to say.

    The Metal Gear Solid franchise is next to none and the latest installment stays the course. The open-ended environment allows for hours of gameplay whether roaming the desert or completing missions, there's always something to do!

    The graphics are unreal, and Kojima has crafted an amazing story. The way characters from across the Metal Gear universe play into the saga of Big Boss makes you crave playing the older games again. A ton of replay ability.

    Fantastic. Controls well, great story that can be a little confusing sometimes though but ultimately pays off. You can feel overwhelmed by the amount of things to do but the game only goes as fast as you want to.

    So far best game in 2015! Graphic, Story telling, Contents. Kojima did it again.... I'm very worried that this is the end really for this frachise with Kojima.

    It's an amazing game. The story is good but doesn't force you to play it. You make the choices on how you want to do it. It's open world which is a major change in the series since it's usually a closed map.

    Amazing open world game. Side Ops are a little repetitive but the story missions and building out your Mother Base are both very intriguing. Love this game and had never played any other games in the series.

    Great game, with stunning visuals, fun gameplay, and a awesome story. I have had some strange framerate time outs with the xbox one version and one crash. But all in all it has not been to much of a hassle.

    I've actually never played an MGS game before, and was thinking of not playing MGS V because of that. But fortunately there's some great youtube videos that make it feasible to catch up on the story (either in summary or in great detail). The game itself is fantastic - there's clearly some issues and weirdness with the story (and have read that some things were cut/rushed out) but the core gameplay and the almost limitless possibilities in how you approach missions is clearly the meat of this game, and it's where it delivers. I can't imagine ever getting tired of it.

    It is Metal Gear Solid. The game of the brand says it all because it delivers what each brand of the franchise delivers. It has a good story, controls and graphics are great, and the open world works!

    MGS 5 is a great experience. The story-line is well worth the wait from the previous game. The single player and online game are 2 great experiences that will get you to keep playing the game.

    I give the game 4.5 out of 5. I give the service 5 out of 5. I also preordered and got $10 in bestbuy rewards. On top of that i am a part of their gamers club unlocked for $30 for a 2 year membership, so i saved $12 on the game. If ur not a member and u buy more than 1 game each year, you need to get on board with the gamers club unlocked. So worth it. After 2 games it pays for itself and the rest is gravy. i cant believe that people in the industry are not touting this more. Probly cuz they r so in love with gamestop. Guys, free shipping to your door on release day, save 20% on all new games and preorder certain games and get $10 in rewards certs. A no brainer.

    This game is a ton of fun to play. Controls great, looks great and just a long life-span for it as well. You also don't need to be an expert on the series to enjoy the story either.
