Yeah Meryl you make some interesting points but I see them as almost a correction.

First off I think they might of did a better job on the new dialouge. There seems to be more feeling behind some of the parts. Admitted it is wierd to see Mei Ling and Nastasha without there accents, but I think the correction was for the better. If you think why would a US military advisor be Russian in the first place, I think its better to make it more believable that she works for our government. And for some reason I don't mind the drop of Mei Lings whats so ever. I think I was almost annoyed by the last one. Plus the older snake voice sounds better truthfully. Considering he is spose to be mid thirties it does work better overall. Oh yeah and Sniper Wolf still holds the accent.

Now the life bar thing I kinda disagree on considering how much health you lose after getting shot or wounded. If this was like the original, a higher difficulty level would cause you to be dead in one shot if you used the last games life guage. The switch for a longer one was for the better.

On to the flashy statment, yeah the game if flashy, but MGS is spose to be flashy. I believe this is what konami wanted with the original but couldnt express it due to the hardware limitations. Its a true work of art.

Now for the controls I kinda agree, mainly due to the completely digital control instead of analog. Everytime I think the GC controller is pressure sensitive I am poorly mistaken. I would be walking around with gun drawn then try to put it down by slowly releasing the A button when it would go off. Man that got me caught. I can't say that it is something completely bad but its takes a lot of getting used to, knowing that you have to hit another button to get you gun down.

Anyways, I stand by what I said before. Great game, perfect in my eyes. MY NEW FAVORITE
