Nice writeup Vagabond. Keep us updated on how you feel about the game once you get past that first chapter...

Personally, I think the game does a nosedive after that point. The gameplay is still good (I don't have a problem with the controls) but the lack of play, the lack of options, and the nauseating dialogue got to me mid-second act and only got worse from there (I'm nearing the end of the third act now).

 

I guess this is where people are different.. I found the game got a lot better. I am only at what is probably the end of Act 4, but so far, if I had to pick my least favorite act, it would be Act 1.

I really liked Act I. My order thus far would be:

Act IV>>>>Act I>Act III>>>>Act II. I think I'm near the end of the game. I just shut down GW, watched the Naomi video (God, Snake should have capped that bitch...), and Otacon woke me up right when I shut off the console. How close am I to the end? I heard this game drags on for awhile.

I really loved Act IV but I can't say Act V is impressing me that much. I loved the actual gameplay in Act I the most, though. I liked all the options to finish it however I pleased.
