Basil play the game its enjoyable, it isn't MGS by a long shot , but it has stuff you like about MGS like long LOOOOONNNGG Codec calls , goofiness and cool boss fights, plus cool characters (Codec Calls are what makes the characters more interesting), It IS a metal gear game.
What I dislike about it is the soundtrack , not my kind of thing, it isn't original "Industrial" sounding music like MGS games, it was Creed / Alter Bridge like music and some others like Bullet for My Valentine when there is a fast paced boss battle.
