i got the game yesterday, already played a good amount of the game, 10 hours of play time to be exact. i could tell you now this is the best Metal Gear game yet, yep even better than the first imo.
i loved the sense of humour in this game like.. when i first started the game i selected " i prepare MGS2 " option. that got me a weird opening. i freaked out when i saw raiden on the plane, lucky it was snake with a raiden mask. and the part were you first meet up EVA was hillarious.
i also like the whole interactive opening, the one that showed up after virtuous mission, like pressing L3 changes the text credits, and pressing R1 makes the woman whisper "Snake Eater".
the new addition that i realy like best is when you're holding up guards, you could interogate them, some will give you enemy guard positions, other will give you alert cancelation..etc.. really good stuff.
the only problem that i come across was the audio on some codec conversation is skipping abit, not really a big deal only happen once in a while. anyway thats all for now..
BEST GAME EVER !! Kojima = GOD
