In many ways this game is kinda a mess. The game is almost more cutscene then gameplay, the tone is ridiculously heavy, it retcons and completely skips setups from previous entries and tries to tie the convoluted plot of Metal Gear Solid all up in a neat wrap up. And maybe I'm crazy, but I love every goddamn minute of it! Back in the day I asked for a PS3 just to play this game and I've never regretted it. It was the first game that made me cry.
