Well I have doubts that many people have run through the entire game even with the walkthru, so here it is, So far, pretty awesome game. Very fluid controls excellent enemy AI, decent weapons and sweet chameleon like camo suit. Has a long load time of 8 minutes, and the epic cut scenes need to have a skip option. So far so good, more to follow....

Very impressed with this game so far. The controls are MUCH better than I ever could have hoped for, and they finally caved and switched the X and O buttons so that they match every other game in existence as being confirm and cancel respectively.br /br /I can't speak to the storyline yet as I'm only a few hours in, but it seems solid so far although I'm sure there will be a few bumps in the road later on as with all MGS games after the first.br /br /Graphics are outstanding, controls are intuitive for the most part (Stance changing can still be a pain, but improved from MGS3), gameplay is intense and interesting, cutscenes are exciting, I really have very little to complain about.br /br /As far as complaints, the graphics can tend to break down a little bit in some of the larger environments, and you can see a little bit of texture artifacts in the distant walls and buildings. Nothing huge, but I noticed it.br /Also, the enemy AI can be a little sad at times, at least with generic PMC levels on the battlefield zones. I've found that just sniping at guys from a few streets away causes them to panic and take cover or call for backup, but not necessarily attempt to return fire or flank you.
 Review from someone who hasn't played MGS in a while June 13, 2008

I'll start off by saying that I have not played all of the previous titles (MG, MG2, etc.). I have played the original MGS and I enjoyed watching my friend play MGS2. It was hilarious since he's a button-masher and easily frustrated. br /br /Having established that I'll give my objective review.br /br /__Single Player__br /The loading screen was clever, and wasn't as long as people complained about.br /First starting off the game -- before the title screen even came up -- is interesting and a bit confusing at first. But when I hit the "X" button the "channel" changed; it's then that I realized what it was supposed to be. So I surfed these channels for a bit until the main title came up. They were hilarious and just amazing to watch in their brillant colors/graphics and clarity. I happened across a parody of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" where the lady had to identify one of the PMCs. Heh, there was even a cooking show that was cooking up snakes in a bunker.br /br /The game then began, credits rolling over the occaisional cutscene still. Interesting to watch, but I was glad that I got caught up on my MGS before starting. I could see where someone picking up this title with no previous knowledge would become confused real quick. (Thank goodness there's a recently released MG Database!)br /br /Gameplay is fun, especially adapting to your surroundings with Octocamo. It does take some getting used to, but it's basically 3rd person with the ability to shoot over-the-shoulder or in first person down the sights (ironsights, rail, red-dot, scope). Customization is huge. And very fluid after you bump into "Drebin" and begin utilizing the Drebin points system. I like how this was utilized. Sell off weapons that you can't use because of their ID tags (future tech disables other users) and then use the credits toward purchases of mods. Take your M4 and utilize the rails for a laser sight or Master Key. The environments in general look great and looking down the weapon sight has that realistic feel to it. br /br /I like how they incorporated the iPod into your inventory, definitely some potential there.br /br /__Multiplayer: Metal Gear Online__br /This was utilized quite nicely. The only gripe I have is that you have to register for a Konami name, then a Game ID. Which can't match. Seems redundant, until you realize you can have multiple Game IDs to each Konami name. The first character you create is free. Customize your PMC soldier however you wish.br /The Drebin Points are utilized differently, instead of picking up weapons, it's based off of kills, captures, achievements (Knock an enemy out and gain some points, # of headshots, etc.). Then upon your respawn, customize your inventory up to the amount of points you snagged, or retain them until the next time for even better weapons.br /br /The controls are the same (Items/Weapons, 3rd person, over-the-shoulder, and first person) and there's a nice tutorial that you can go through to get you up to speed. br /br /You can also customize your abilities. And the best part is that they're not "locked." You can change them inbetween matches so that you're increasing the stats on each one. You have your choice of 4 abilities, choose from all sorts of categories; from CQC, Knife Mastery, Sniper, Assault, "Trickery" and even some of the SOP specials. The SOP allows for teamwork on the network, utilized through the nanomachines, allowing for you to know where everyone is, and if they're under fire or perhaps just knocked out. The more you use an ability, the closer you'll get to advancing it to the next tier/level of mastery. br /br /Definitely a lot of fun; looking forward to advancing the skill sets.br /And definitely recommend MGO for gamers looking to play online, advance in skill, and utilize teamwork.br /br /__Overall__br /Definitely fun, and looks great. A great stealth title, plus a fun online experience for you and some friends.br /br /Would recommend playing or reading/watching the previous titles to get up to speed on the background story. br /
