You dont have to be smart to play or enjoy MGS, but it would be a hell of a lot better if reviewers didnt criticise a game for BEING smart

Methinks you're confusing the words "smart" and "complex".

True, but even "complex" isn't the right word.

Again, "convoluted" would better describe MGS 1/2 to me. That doesn't mean that MGS4 will suffer that same fate, though.

Regardless, "smart" is good, "complex" is neither good nor bad, and "convoluted" is bad. Pretty sure we can agree on that.
