Easily my favorite game and a respectable, competitive nomination for greatest game of all time.
It's got it all without letting any one element out of balance: gameplay, story, music, characters, easter eggs, humor, style.
I could talk about the lore of this game and how it made the most James Bond crossed with anime tier video game experience of all time but there's nothing I can say that isn't already known. The codec calls, easter eggs, and blooper disc alone make it well worth your time but the absolute joy that is the espionage action against the enemy AI allows for fun and creativity, never taking itself TOO seriously.
The serious nature of the game still shines through when you least expect it and tugs at the heartstrings.
