MGS was a great game, while many don't consider it the best of the series, its definitly a benchmark in gaming.
MGS2 was a pretentious "Hideo-You're-Not-Stanley-Cubrick-So-Don't-Try-To-Be" piece of trash. It was probably the best selling bad game in video gaming history. Its message was as brilliant as the gullable fool playing the game was willing to let it be in their easily manipulated mind.
- The game supplanted Snake for a whiney hyper-feminized male lead who was universally hated.
- The game took the quirky unconventionality and supsension of disbelief which was signiture of MGS and turned it into flat out ridiculous unbelievable stupidity.
- The game featured perhaps one of the most awkward and poorly paced stories of any cinematic style game to date and had perhaps the highest ratio of unlikeable characters to likeable ones as well.
- Every model, object or structure in the game that wasn't an organic living character was comprised entirely of pentagonal (or was it hexagonal?) panels. I've never seen such lazy environments in my life.
- Occelot was possessed by the dismembered arm of Liquid Snake! Vamp was a gay Vampire who could walk on water and use magic! Fatman was a fat man on roller blades! Olga was the, "Hey, let's rip off the cyborg ninja of MGS!" Solidus Snake not only had a stupid nonsensical name but was doctor octopus. Billy, you should have taken the money you spent on this game and used it to buy a worthwhile opinion of some value.
MGS3 was perhaps the best in the series, though a relatively unheard of instalment in comparison to its brothers, apparently a casualty of late gen oversaturation. It took the genius of MGS and found a way to make it even more genuine through the cold war and reinvented plot & character devices which in their unconventionality cemented the game together as a gem worthy of a cinematic picture. It wasn't just MGS, it was MGS + James Bond + Indiana Jones.
MGS Portable Ops was... there... I guess it wasn't a bad game.
MGS4 could be brilliant, but if it follows in the footsteps of MGS2 there is plenty of room for worry. The "Beauty and the Beasts" Third World Country Super Model death squad has many already concerned about the games integrity and the merriad of seemingly unremarkable characters making up much of the new cast. Still, until this title is released we'll not know for sure.
