A very fun parody of classic metal gear games. Fans of the saga will get many witty nods and references to the original material.

Gameplay is pretty solid, with several options for neutralising enemies. You can't kill them, so any time you fatally wound them (say, with a pistol), you have to usa one of your first-ait kits on them, thus wasting a healing item. I find that balances the efficiency of lethal weapons. You also have a non-lethal slingshot, and chloroform (which requires you to sneak up on enemies from behind).

The levels are susprisingly distinct and diverse and the bosses, being true to the source material, are completely wacky design-wise. Not all of them are fun to fight, though. In fact, I find that sometimes the quirkyness and humour of this game get in the way of gameplay.

Still, it is a pretty fun little game, especially for fans of Metal Gear.
