Near-perfect game loop

A tragic end to an incredible game

6 stars.

A too-long masterpiece that deserves all the attention it has gotten and more. A must-play, with respect to its faults, namely its colossal ambition and size, which is likewise its claim to fame.

I consider this the capstone entry in the franchise, a pinnacle of the balance that the MGS series touts between political message and Video Game.

What many see as a perfect game, I see as a tragic failure to coax a wide audience into a fundamentally disjointed story that may have a payoff that many will never see. I unfortunately fall into the category of disbelievers of this title.

I can't dismiss the feeling this game gives of being in the world it creates. It's a glorified tech demo that succeeds in every way it sets out to, and there's nothing to criticize about that.

If only Rockstar would respect your time. That said, if you have that time to burn, burn it here, because there's no game that makes you feel exactly like the free Western man that this game sets to you.
