In my eyes this game was flawless. They made all of the necessary changes to make the game perfect. The targeting was the best improvement they made to the game. You feel like an assassin take out wave after wave of cops and crooks. The soundtrack is also incredibly put together with some star power actually playing DJ on the differetn stations. GTA still delivers on the side busting commercials on the radio. The graphics for the game are amazing. The highlight of this whole package is the story that keep driving you to push further to unravel the twisting story which has different ending depending on your choices. Like I said earlier this game is perfect in every aspect and is an experience you don't want to miss.

Hideo Kojima's final installment for the Metal Gear series is a masterpiece. The game contains some of the best graphics I have ever been seen on a home console. It’s impressive to see the innovative camo suit blend in to any surrounding that Snake leans against. The soundtrack adds to the intensity of sneaking around and battles you encounter. My only complaint about this game is the length of the cutscenes in between playing time. One cutscene was so long I was able to prepare a sandwich and eat it before I was able to start playing again. On the positive side the cutscenes are important to answer all of those unanswered questions that have haunted the Metal Gear series. Over all I think this is the best Metal Gear of the entire series and highly recommend for everyone to play this game and be a part of one of the best game series in video game history.
What's great about it: Graphics, playability, Soundtrack
What's not so great: The almost ridiculously lengthy cutscenes
