The story is great. If you played previous MGS then this is a must for you.
Enjoy the graphic while playing and also make sure you read the online advise when you play if you don't mind spoiler. Some "Events" will happen and it won't change back after completing all the missions.
The multiplayer game play is good but somewhat one sided. Just like most FPS you play.

This is going to be the last true Metal Gear, as Konami and Kojima have officially parted ways. It deserves a place in your gaming library both for its amazing gameplay, and the place it will surely hold in gaming history.

Whether you have played the Metal Gear franchise or not, this is a game that would be good to have in your collection.
The story line, though slightly confusing, opens up a fantastic open world of counter espionage, building character traits & strengths and tactical fun.
If you hate sneaking around, spying and stealth, then this may not be the game for you.

This is the first of all the medal gear games I've played. Love the game. Would recommend it to ages 16 and up. If you like military games, you will like it. I wished you could play online, that would be pretty sweet also.

I'm not a huge Metal Gear Solid fan. I've only played the first two. I have to say this game really pulled me in and has blown me away so far. I've only just started the game but through chapter 5 so far I'm very impressed.

This game is amazing. It completely surpassed my expectations in almost every way. The game is really deep and very challenging. The only issue I have is that the story is pretty bare compared to passed Metal Gear games.

This has to be the best game in the series to date. The story line it great and the game play is outstanding. There's a lot to do in the open world game with little learning curve. A must have for those who like MGS.

This is a wonderful tactical game with the best war espionage that I have played in a while, I am a big fan of Snake ever since I was a kid and coming from PC games to the XBOX One was a huge change both in terms of graphics and the tactics. Easily a favorite and you can play on for hours with the multitude of missions available. Go Konami, Go Snake.

I have not played any of the Metal Gear games since Sons of Liberty, this is a tremendous stealth/action game. Graphics are flawless, sound is tremendous, and the game just flows all together with the neat controls.

If playing this to completion there is probably 100 hours worth of gameplay here. It does get a little samey however it's a game you can make as interesting as you want dependent on your approach to each mission.

What else would you expect from another Metal Gear game. It gets a little of use to playing it but once your in it is a nearly flawless game. Great campaign with an addicting multiplayer. Graphics are top notch.

Fantastic game that adds countless elements to the series. Game does a great job of winding down the series under Hideo Kojima himself.
Game adds fantastic depth to the series and the game can not be passed up!

I have been waiting for something this epic to come along for a long time now and I am not disappointed at all. Any game in the future attempting to incorporate stealth should use this game as a reference point.

Is it as good story wise as 4? No. However the game-play is well over 4 and very intuitive. There is so much to do in this game and I have sunk well over 50 hours into it and still enjoy the freedom it gives.
