It's hard to review this game. It has the best gameplay in the series, easily, but that's constantly interrupted by helicopter rides, visits to Mother Base, selecting your loadouts (even though, for me, it was the same loadout for almost every mission) and micromanaging your many recruits. Still, while you're actually in the field, the stealth gameplay feels excellent. But then it has the absolute worst story in the series. On the plus side... kinda... the vast majority of the story is on cassette tapes that are completely optional.
