They all had a bunch of cut scenes.The length does not matter as the games still had the same amount of game play.In fact MGS4 was the longest til that point with the first 3 games being shorter with cut scenes.

Yes, but Metal Gear Solid 4 features three more hours of cutscenes than the second longest MGS in terms of cutscenes, no matter how you want to look at it.

And no, MGS4 is among the shortest Metal Gear games, next to Metal Gear Solid 1. It's just that the ridiculously huge amount of cutscenes drives the total gameplay time up a lot.
