I really enjoyed the first part of this game. Too bad Konami rushed it out the door as the end of the story was rushed, unfinished and came to an abrupt end. Online gameplay is not nearly as fun as the original metal gear online. Just needed more time and truly could of been a jem of a game. What is there. Was excellent.

I bought this for my boyfriend. He played it every chance he got until it was done :) Now he is going back and doing all the parts he could not complete in the first round.

Overall this game is cool. The player control is great. Riding the horse is alright, getting on is kinda stupid because he has to adjust himself before you can ride, but once riding it is the best way to travel around. the beginning is way, way, way, way too long and slow. After you get past that, the game is righteous.

This game is the pinacle of game design and engaging storytelling, and even if you've never played a game in the MGS series before, you owe it to yourself to pick this up.

If you play any of the MGS series then you should know this is a must in your collection. If you don;t have it you should go to your local Best Buy and purchase it now!

Man if a game developer has to go out. Hideo Kojima found a way to go out swinging. Everything about this game is something special. All the choices you can make in the game either make for the best stealth game you have ever played or the best action game you have ever played. I will say before you decide to pick this up, I think it is very important that you play Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker first.

The gameplay is more open and fun than the series has ever been. You have so many options on how to tackle every mission and there is a massive amount of things to do so you could easily spend a hundred hours playing. It is a little lacking in the story department, which is very strange for a Metal Gear Soild game.

Another Metal Gear game. A lot of improvements. A lot of similarities to older games. Seems like it follows same old formula. Multiplayer can be a little confusing as it is a different take on multiplayer, but I know that there some who like it a lot.

Metal Gear Phantom Pain is a very long detailed game. You have control of how you tackle the missions. Game of the year!

Snake eater really blew me away back in the PS2 era and made a instant fan outta me for this series. To the best and possibly the last MGS the phantom pain is an absolute blast have had it since its original release and still haven't finished it just had to purchase another copy since I lost the original, although Hideo Kojima might be done with MGS I'll be looking forward to Death Stranding.

This is probably the most thought out MGS game i have played, with the sand box environment and the recruiting of staff. Definitely one of my favorite games already!

My only qualm with this series is how crazy the timeline is. I wish Metal Gear Solid V took place after Metal Gear Solid IV, rather than before Metal Gear Solid 1...

I've highly enjoyed the game so far. I've reached close to 50 hours and barely a quarter of the way through it. Would recommend to anyone that enjoyed Peace Walker.

Words can not express the sheer level of brilliance in this game. It is definitely one of those things in life that you simply just need to try and to comprehend.

I have only played for about an hour, and so far this game is amazing. I will have to say I am a little lost in the story, it has been so long since the last MGS.

This game is so fun. I put in more the 48 hrs into this game and I'm at 4% completion. Hours of fun with many side missions. Must get of you are a MGS fan or not.
