MGS fans,is MGS4 the best in the series?

[roadkillers]

Im not that far but IMO yet it is. Hell I havent even got to a boss yet. This is the first one im not dieing every 5 seconds. Here it is from best to worst so far (consoles versions PS era)

MGS4- Very fun!!!!
MGS3- Best bosses (so far) in the series. I love it plus it was my first MGS
MGS1- The origanal. I played it after 3 and I loved it.
MGS2- Was really good but it felt repetitive. Keep going from one place to another back to the same place. Plus I didnt like the feel of the tanker
