Mechanical perfection in the form of mil-sim by way of 'Birdman'.

A slick roving camera with minimal cuts creates an unrivaled sense of unease during cinematic scenes. Story - ok.

Highly recommended.

Update:

Six years and a hundred more hours later, this game holds up not just as the most mechanically satisfying game I've ever played, but as a narrative marvel. The original misgivings about the story that I had were proven wrong with the added context of Peace Walker (which I had not played at the time of initial review).

This game is truly a masterpiece, and given how many misunderstood games are given a critical re-evaluation several years after release, I'm sure we'll be seeing more and more people coming out to defend this game's narrative and the risky delivery method it chose to dole that narrative out.

The way this game deals with the warping of ideals, the concept of identity, the inherent oppression of shared language, the place of a soldier in a technologically evolving landscape, the banal rise of fascism... it juggles so many topics without ever dropping the ball. It's equally as dense in this single entry as the entire Metal Gear saga up to this point. It has more subtext than most novels.

I could go on all day about this, but there's better ways to experience what I'm talking about. Like playing this game. Even if you don't feel like pouring a hundred hours into the series so that this story makes sense, play it for the mechanics. Whatever your favorite third person shooter is, this game probably does it better.

The world probably doesn't need anymore Metal Gear Solid games, but we definitely need more games like Metal Gear Solid V.

11/10 - Best game I have ever played.
see you
