The story isn't much to write home about, but god DANG if the swordplay isn't the best I've ever seen, you can really tell that the slicing n' dicing was their one thing and they perfected it. Also any game where you get to sword fight a robot the size of a small country is already damn near perfect.

This game is the definition of great. Set in the Metal Gear universe, which I really have no idea about with this being the only game I’ve played within the universe, it is a fast paced hack and slash with surprisingly deep mechanics such as parrying, blocking and the fantastic blade mode. There is also a high level of combos that can be learned and used to beat the shit out of enemies. The game also shines in the soundtrack department, with music similar to that of Japanese anime’s it really sets the tone in the more tense moments including the boss fights. The boss fights are some of the best parts of this game, challenging yet fair for the most part (Senator Armstrong) they really make you use all the gadgets in your arsenal to beat the opponents that you are faced with. My favourite personal battle is Monsoon, his character design is on point and the music is fantastic as is the moment you finally become Jack the Ripper. The game is also graphically impressive for 2013 with pretty well detailed character models and environments, it also includes destructive environments for most levels which is seriously impressive for the time. All in all this game is fantastic and I really wish we could get a sort of sequel.

They made a game about my life.

excellent bossfights and an entertaining story held back by frankly mediocre level design and generic grunts that barely fight back, other Platinum games have done a better job at balancing good combat with good level design before and after this one, it's also far from even the best Metal Gear entry, it's not even close
