Hmm, lists are always perilous, but here goes a letter grade version:
A+ (console)
MGS3. Astounding characters, fleshed-out environments, gripping gameplay. One of the classics of the 21st century media.
A+ (handheld)
MGS: Portable Ops. Terrific storyline and characters, the anime art style works, great gameplay innovations (collecting soldiers) and works perfectly as a handheld game. Kojima's scriptwriting has been honed to perfection.
A (console)
MGS: Amazing how well it's held up. Most of the classic themes - anti-war, strong female characters, surprising plot twists - are all there. Sniper Wolf's fate has lost none of its power to stun.
A-
MGS2: Storyline and characters aren't quite realized. Some great moments and thrilling intrigue, but we never learn enough about the characters or their motivations to make it stick. Gameplay also has a few issues - the sheer complexity of the control scheme gets in the way of the action.
