This game was fantastic, even better than the amazing MGS 1 + 2. Besides a newfound sense of exploration and open-endedness, I think this game had such amazing characters, even better than the great characters of the first two games, from The Boss to EVA, to Young Ocelot, to Sokolov. A fun-filled sandbox, a great variety of distinct and challenging bosses, all surrounded by an amazing and iconic story that puts you through all the emotions.
