If the demo is any indication of the the whole game, and I believe it is, than it is far better than a 3 out of 10. The gameplay is more than solid and the cutting technique is both fresh and fun.

The only complaint I have is the plot is nonsense and the writing is nothing but exposition. But that is the very definition of Metal Gear story telling. It may be nonsense but it makes about as much sense as any MGS I've played. Well except for the first MGS, that almost made sense.

I've read three reviews for MGR:R and they have all been very positive and match up with what I felt about the demo. I'll have to read this Playstation Lifestyle review just to see a differing opinion, but since I've never heard of the website before I find the situation very dubious. Is it even a legit website or is it just some dude's blog that desperately wants to be a legit website?

It's too bad you don't understand the story of MGS 2-4. You probably didn't pay enough attention on your first playthrough. Everything that happened had a reason. Try reading the plot summaries on the wiki pages.

If any MGS game was made into a movie critics would laugh their asses off at the exposition and leave completely dumfounded. 

Fixed. But it just so happens that MGS is one of the few game series that actually cares about making a story that connects through all the games.


It's probably not that difficult to connect the games together when there are no rules and any insane nonsense gets explained away by some crazy character's gibberish monologue.

Patriots = La Li Lu Le Lo because of nanobots tricked people's brains.

Nonsense. Fun nonsense, but nonsense all the same. Fans take it all to seriously. I doubt even Kojima takes it as seriously as fans. All the jokes he puts in them is proof he doesn't. Metal Gear Rising is even more proof that he knows that Metal Gear is at it's heart cheesy.
