+++++++++++ this game struck me as a little too goofy, a little too sprawling, not very focused, rougher around the edges compared to vice city, a lot of the new game mechanics didn't do much for me. I liked it but it was the first gta game after 3 which left me a little disappointed.
during senior year i almost spent more time playing halo 2 than going to class
2005 I liked the adventure game style gamecube remake a lot, so I was very disappointed this ended up being an action game, and ultimately never played much of it
story and setting and some of the characters seemed neat, the combat was a bit too dumbed down, and I stopped playing after I realized the character voiced by john cleese wasn't gonna join my party.
+++++++++++ I slowly dragged myself through the campaign over the course of a half a year and don't recall thinking very highly of it, but during the same half year me and some friends of mine played so much of the multiplayer for this we even skipped classes my senior year of high school to go home and play it. So yeah, it was pretty good. (probably missed more classes than should've been legally allowed, but fortunately neither the school nor my parents ever really gave me any trouble about it, but kids, don't do what I did.)
+++++++++++ I remember being extremely excited for this one and when I first started playing it I felt the opening area was effectively creepy in a neat way that seemed an interesting way to take a star wars game, but didn't feel compelled to go on. When summer started and high school was over I basically lost a month to this game. I was a bit disappointed by how rushed and broken it seemed, but did enjoy the character relationship system and the darker take on the star wars universe. But man, that ending. That was straight up unfinished.
bought it and messed around with it for a bit
+++++++++++ Loved the really cool spy story with a great setting and good characters. The game even helped me pass a test in one of my college course which I hadn't studied for as it covered some stuff on 60s politics. Loved the boss fights, the fight against The End is a highlight of the series, and thus gaming, for me. I also dug the camo stuff and survival stuff, though sure the menus coulda been a bit less of a hassle. Also I to this day have no idea how CQC works in this game, and I really, really missed the simple pleasure found in MGS2 by sneaking up behind a guy and just jamming on a button real fast to snap his neck. That's a disturbing sentence, but hey it's true.
+++++++++++ Another game that blew me away. Like someone took a Zelda style game, stripped it down to what was necessary to make this game, and built a fantastic game world to go with it. The setting and look of the game were unique and mysterious and really grabbed me, plus the ending to this game is maybe one of the best in any game. Also worth mentioning that the music is pretty great.
