Mindless Fun. Incoherent story.

This game is fun if you're looking for something in the stealth genre without any learning curve or depth.
Western audiences that didn't grow up watching Japanese cartoons will find the cut scenes excruciating. They're painfully long and full of redundant exposition. Japanese films tend to emphasize imagery and symbolism, and their audiences will give a pass to plots and character motivations that play fast and loose with logic if they have the former. This game echoes those priorities, which means you have to listen to a lot of exposition to tie the story together, which wouldn't make any sense without some pretty convoluted explanations explanation. (It is still kind of unfeasible, but at least you know what the designers were thinking).
The game play is actually kind of fun. I was at first disappointed because I was expecting something a lot more realistic and cerebral. This game is neither, and if you're like me, I probably wouldn't recommend it to you. But I think it does succeed in being the kind of game it set out to be. At least the actual game play does, even if the story is an unmitigated mess.
Good game, but not much different to snake-eater

As I think mentioned in other reviews, this game is virtually identical to snake eater except there is a different camera option and a few other minor differences. There is also an on-line play (but I didn't test it), snake vs monkey (fun), the old MGS games and a few other items.
Unless you are very crazy about the MGS line, I suggest you get EITHER this or MGS3: Snake Eater. If you have a choice, this one is more robust.
time paradox snake is always awsome
