THe greatest console port I've ever seen. Incredibly optimised as well, runs everything on high at 45 fps on my crappy 550ti. Incredibly fun, to boot. My only complaints are the lack of manual save and the pretty bad cover system. Also, to anyone else who was having trouble with your controller, try waiting to plug it in to your computer until the game gets to the main menu.

Graphics-9/10 Foxengine is incredibly beutiful, and will run well on anything.
Length-8/10 Short, but sweet, and makes you excited for Phantom Pain. Plus, the Extras and Side Ops add a lot of replayability.
Sound-9/10 All characters, even guards, sound great. Kiefer Sutherland is no Hayter, but he does a surprisingly good job as Big Boss. Gun sounds are crisp, and music is amazing.
Gameplay-8/10 Great controls and everything feels great. However, the cover system is not great and you often pop out in front of a guard when you don't mean to. Also sometimes guards can see you through stuff. Gunplay is a little strange, but it should be, as it isn't a shooter, it's a stealth game. You didn't see great gunplay in SC: Chaos Theory, and that's one of the greatest stealth games of all time.
OVERALL-8.5/10
I would reccomend this game to any Metal Gear fan, or fans of stealth games in general. This definitely goes up there with Chaos Theory and Mark of the Ninja as one of my all time favorite stealth games. If you haven't played a Metal Gear game before, however, I'm not sure if you would like ths however.

I absolutely can't wait for Phantom Pain. Here's to you, Kojima, and here's to Snake's spectacular return to PC.
