Having played the previous entries in the Metal Gear Solid series, The gameplay and sheer amount of ways to approach a situation by far eclipses it's predecessors. It truly does live up to its tag of "Tactical espionage operations" providing a gripping system of mechanics to allow you as much freedom in order to complete a mission as possible; for example allowing you to have your horse defecate on the road to send vehicles out of control. The story however is lackluster, instead of immersing the player, it takes you out of the experience through stretches of dull story moments that do not involve the player. regardless the game is very fun and interesting. If you enjoyed previous metal gear games or stealth action games for the gameplay, this game is for you
