I played it for 30 minutes about, but it was terrible. Maybe it gets better but my copy of the game thankfully stopped working.
Things you should know:
- the codec calls aren't voiced. Many of the cutscenes aren't voiced either. It's really dull and doesn't feel like metal gear at all.
- no choice between shooter and action style controls. Action is the default. You can manually reassign looking to the face buttons, but there is a lock on button AND a ready button (they are separate buttons unlike in peace walker) so good luck figuring out where to reassign everything in a way that makes sense. If you use default controls, dpad is camera, fortunately you can press a button to center camera behind you, although this is not so great for a stealth game.
- I only played about 3 levels but each one was basically just a multiplayer map. You're placed on the outside and the objective is in the middle, and the story is just an attempt to wrap ot all together and make it seem like a regular metal gear game. (Although I've played other games that did this pretty well, Medal of Honor Heroes and Phantasy Star Universe, so there's nothing really wrong with passing off a mp game as a single player game, and maybe it does get better but I didn't like anything about it so far)
- the graphics are much worse than peace walker and.. Snake's movements are more robot-like compared to peace walker, and the controls feel a little eh. The game just doesn't have the same polish to it. Also, it lacks color. By comparison Peace Walker was very vibrant.
