Wow thanks for all the responses guys, I really wanted to see what all the fuss was about, IGN, VG Chartz, OPM, Kokizo, Gamespot etc all gave it the full marks so I expected to be blown away with the most amazing story telling, cut scences and gameplay. Not only were my expectations super high but even just taking it as a game within it's own right I was surprised at how amateurish the whole experiance was. However I can see why the massive fans of the series would gloss over all it's shortcomings. Someone said the VO was bad but it didn't bother them as it's MGS while it bothered me. I downloaded MGS1 and am enjoying it still after all those years. MGS4 started off well I'll give it that. I just think it couldv'e been so much better.
From Kokizo 10/10-
It's stupid, it's nonsensical, it's over the top, it's full of awful dialogue, it demands long sittings and it hasn't changed much from the first game ten years ago. But then, it's Metal Gear Solid, so who cares? It's undeniably brilliant, captivating, exciting and downright fantastic, definitely worthy of at least a few furrowed brows throughout the experience.
The above is why it's split gamers down the middle. They admit the dialouge is awful and story convoluted. Not only that they called it stupid and nonsensical. And it still garnered a 10/10 because it's a Hideo Kojima MGS game.
