This game is purely amazing, sure, the shooting does get bland sometimes, and some people hate Cell Shading (Thoes pepole suck).
The games storyline is very well thought, and will have you thinking alot. You may of thought "OMG METAL GEAR SOLID IS MAKING MY HEAD IMPLODE!!!1/?/1/11 LAWLAWLAWLAWL" but compared to Killer 7 the complexity of MGS's Story line is a childs JigSaw puzzle, with 4 peices.
The way you move and shoot is pretty innovative. Your character is basically on a track, and you hold "A" to move forward, If you see a split path coming up you simplly point the Joystick in that direction and continue to hold A. Also hitting B at any time quickly rotated you 360 Degrees.
The thing about gunfighting is, generally when there is an enemy in the area, you here a laughter (from one or more of the foes known as "Heavens Smiles"), so you hold R to draw your gun and go into first person, but wait! You see nothing! How can this be?! Well you clever clever child you, you first need to hit L to do a quick 'scan' of your FOV (Field of Vision), if something is there BAM! You can now see it and shoot. None of the foe's have projectiles, the only way they can hurt you is A)They get to close, and run into you, causing them to explode, or
Your an idiot and keep running, ignoring the laughter and footsteps you hear, which inturn makes you run into a Heavens smile.
And on top of all of the amazing storyline, and innovatave gameplay, there are some really really cool anime cutscenes. C'om what could be better?
PS: I reccomend getting the Gamecube version, I have read that the Textures and characters look worse in Ps2 and the loading times are horrid.
My rating? 8.8/10
